Research

Internet of Things (IoT) is a one of the technologies that are being applied to various applications and scenarios. This research is focused on applying this technology to indoor hydroponics farms. We implemented a hybrid wire and wireless sensor network that connects to the internet and stores sensor measurements in a cloud platform (Amazon Web Services). The sensor data that we collect are accessed by a web based application that provides data visualization and analytics. A companion mobile application was also developed for data visualization and alerts. This paper highlight the performance comparison between a hybrid system as compared to a purely wireless system. Simulations have shown that incorporating a wired system results in improvements in performance such as the reduction of packet loss from 12.23% in the purely wireless system to 5.62% in the hybrid system with burst traffic and even down to 0.0% in the hybrid system with continuous traffic.
