Abstract

At this time, the need for food is a basic human need. With the increase in population, food is a necessity that must be supplied in large quantities and good quality. One sector that needs to be improved for food supply in agriculture especially oyster mushroom cultivation. Farmers in oyster mushroom cultivation often experience failures due to lack of temperature and humidity which results in less than optimal mushroom production. The temperature required in the cultivation of oyster mushrooms is at 22 - 28 C and humidity of 80 - 90% in order to produce superior oyster mushrooms so as not to cause crop failure. The failure of oyster mushroom cultivation due to incorrect temperature and humidity causes the resulting fungus to dry out and inhibit its growth period or even not grow. The failure of oyster mushroom cultivation as one of the pillars of food needs will result in the supply of food needs of the community to be hampered. Therefore, we need a tool for oyster mushroom cultivation farmers that can detect room temperature and humidity conditions to produce superior oyster mushrooms. This problem able to solve with a smart farm system. The smart farm system is a system that can make it easier for farmers to monitor and maintain conditions of temperature and humidity in oyster mushroom cultivation through the website. This system uses Arduino Uno as a microcontroller, soil moisture sensor to detect the humidity of oyster mushroom growing media, dht22 sensor to detect humidity and air temperature, ESP8266 module to send data to cloud computing which will be displayed via the website and LCD. By using the smart farm system, the growth of oyster mushrooms is faster and physically less brittle.
