Desarrollo de un dispositivo IoT en cloud para cultivo de maíz en la localidad de Pujilí

Abstract

Factors such as soil moisture and ambient temperature, have been a recurring problem when growing products such as corn in the parish La Matriz of Pujilí canton, these and other elements, the same that will be discussed throughout this work, directly affect agricultural production in the locality, Therefore, through a correct case study, it was proposed the development of an IoT device with the objective of achieving a higher production and quality of corn, this device uses an ESP32 module, which allows through sensors the acquisition and visualization of data such as ambient temperature and soil moisture in real time; These data are sent, processed and finally stored in the cloud. With the use of Blynk as a base application, a graphic interface was developed, which will help to monitor the parameters remotely, thus optimizing the work and, most importantly, the time of the personnel in charge of the orchard will be properly managed. Finally, with the linking of the Telegram service, alert messages are sent, which emit a signal indicating that the humidity and temperature parameters are outside their ideal range, so that the person in charge of monitoring can come and give an immediate solution to the crop.
