This research was conducted to realize a nutrient solution concentration control system using web interface monitoring. The hydroponic system only relies on nutrient solutions whose nutrient levels must be maintained to anticipate the increase in acidic acid levels of the nutrient solutions. The provision of monitoring and recording changes in hydroponic system nutrition is very helpful in maintaining the quality of hydroponic agricultural production. The provision of data from electrical power measurements needs to be supported by information technology, especially remote data measurement technology. This remote data monitoring uses a wireless network system using a TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) sensor, Arduino DUE microcontroller, WiFi module and internet connection for the observation process. The TDS sensor used previously was characterized and calibrated. The data obtained by the sensor is used to exercise control before sending it to the thingspeak.com channel to be recorded and displayed in realtime. In testing the sensor TDS meter error of 2.88%. The results of the test for 2 hours obtained the results of the control system can increase the nutritional PPM from 213 PPM to 451 PPM within 30 seconds with a nutrient enhancer sample of 779 PPM, and decrease from 779 PPM to 431 PPM within 70 seconds with a water-enhancing sample of 213 PPM for the 445 PPM set point. In the second test result for 2 hours, the control system results can increase the nutritional PPM from 215 PPM to 814 PPM within 30 seconds with a nutrient enhancer sample of 956 PPM, and decrease from 956 PPM to 754 PPM within 40 seconds with a water-enhancing sample of 215 PPM for the 780 PPM set point. PPM value of nutrients can be affected by the presence of other solids such as sand which dissolves with water.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
