Rancang Bangun Inkubator Day Old Chick (DOC) dengan Sistem Monitoring dan Kontrol Pemanas Otomatis Berbasis IoT

Abstract

In the maintenance of DOC chicks, special care is needed, because newborn chicks are susceptible to disease, which greatly affects their growth rate. The problem that is often faced by farmers is the temperature conditions in the cage by simply inserting a temperature detector into the cage and adjusting the heater manually. For this reason, a chick incubator with an IoT-based automatic heating monitoring and control system was made. In making this incubator, using NodeMCU ESP8266 as a microcontroller, DHT11 sensor as a temperature and humidity detector, and also PTC heater as an air heater in the incubator. To regulate the temperature in the drum to keep it stable, by turning on and off the heater and fan using Android using the Blynk IoT application that has been configured in advance. From several tests that have been carried out this tool has succeeded in stabilizing the temperature of the cage by 85% and the average success of using chicks is 96% that survive.
