Design of a Fogponics Farming System based on the Internet of Things and Fuzzy Logic

Fogponics is a method of growing crops without using soil media. Fogponics is a type of aeroponic-based planting method. Fogponic has advantages in terms of efficiency in the use of nutrients. The obstacle faced in fogponics is maintaining environmental conditions that support plant development. This study applies the Internet of Things (IoT) to control environmental conditions. The system successfully retrieves temperature, humidity, and pH data and then processes it using the fuzzy algorithm. The calculated value from this fuzzy algorithm becomes an automatic regulator for actuator activation to maintain fogponics environmental conditions. The results of each data reading and calculation of the processed data using fuzzy logic are stored on the IoT platform, which can be accessed using devices connected to the internet. The system was successfully implemented at the laboratory level with a limited number of plants and a limited cultivation area.
