Development of Smart Chicken Farm Prototype with Internet of Things and Application

Abstract

The objectives of this research are to : 1) develop the prototype kit of smart chicken farm equipment in conjunction with Internet of Things and Application and 2) evaluate the performance of the prototype kit. Research tools include the experimental tool and data collection tool. The experiment tool is the prototype kit of smart chicken farm equipment in conjunction with Internet of Things and Application developed by C/C++, Java Script, HTML, CSS connected to MySQL database. Arduino IDE is used together with Blynk application to control NodeMCU ESP8266, DHT11, Relay, Motor, Light, Servo Motor, LCD monitor via smart phone. Data collection tool is a system efficiency assessment form. The research implemented according to 5 steps of software development life cycle concept: 1) problem and requirement analysis 2) system design, 3) system development, 4) system testing, and 5) evaluation by 5 experts selecting from purposive sampling. The result of the project development was found that 1) from the prototype of smart chicken farm equipment in conjunction with Internet of Things and Application, users can successfully operate to turn on and off the device inside the box and record temperature value to the database, and 2) the efficiency of the proposed system evaluated by five experts is in highest level (X̅=4.64, S.D.=0.39).
