Development of Domestic Animals Shelter Environment Monitoring System using Internet of Things (IoT)

In India, domestic animals play a major role in Indian economics. It is a parallel source of income for the farmer and is mostly used for work and service purposes. These animals are the most important assets of farmers, so their protection and survival in shelters are becoming major issues. Like the high and low temperatures of the animals shelters, drinking water level problems in the water tanks, harmful gases found in the animals shelters, and most of the time external animals enter the animal shelters, all these problems are faced by the animals in the shelters. In high temperatures, cow behavior changes and also affects the health of cows. If the drinking water level is low, this affects the milk production of the cow. Many times, an unknown person spreads flammable liquid near the animal shelter, which often ignites the fire in the shelter. For this reason, farmers lose their animals. Through the IoT, information and sustainable embedded solutions are provided through this research work. These devices monitor the animal shelter’s environmental parameters and send information about the shelter using Blynk Cloud. Using this app, the farmer can control the shed’s activity, and if anything harmful is found, this device will send an alert message to the farmer. The second part of this device is to check the security of the animal shelter. If any movement is found near the animal shelter, this instantly sends a warning to the farmer. For detection of any other movement of the animal, a PIR sensor is used. This sensor detects movement, sends an alert, and captures the image of any other animal using a Pi camera. This camera was used to capture the image if any harm was found. Using this device, farmers can solve the various problems of domestic animal shelters.
