Hydroponics, a soil-less agriculture system, consumes less water and resources compared to traditional soil-based farming. However, it requires simultaneous monitoring of various parameters, making it challenging. This article explores a ground-breaking hydroponic system designed to revolutionize modern farming by creating a precision-controlled environment for plant growth. Our research developed a Smart Hydroponic farm using Internet of Things (IoT) technology to highlight its advantages over traditional human-intervened hydroponics. Given the high costs of organic farming, this paper offers a more feasible solution through automated hydroponics with remote monitoring and control. The system exemplifies smart agriculture by utilizing real-time sensors for light, pH, EC, temperature, water level, and a camera module, all managed by a Raspberry Pi processor. It aims to save labor and resources while providing precise control over watering and fertilization. The primary function of this hydroponic system is to automate parameter monitoring and control via actuators, facilitating faster production of green leafy vegetables and eliminating the labor-intensive tasks typically associated with farming.

Hydroponics, a method of growing plants without soil, uses nutrient-rich solutions to foster plant growth, offering a transformative approach to agriculture. This method allows plants to grow 25-30% faster by directly exposing roots to nutrients and regulating atmospheric conditions. Traditional farming, reliant on extensive land use and fertilizers, degrades soil quality and leaves farmers vulnerable to environmental uncertainties. Hydroponics, particularly suited for urban areas with high vegetable demand, enables precise control of environmental parameters, benefiting both large-scale cultivators and urban gardeners. Integrating Internet of Things (IoT) technology into hydroponic systems revolutionizes traditional growing practices. Real-time sensors monitor pH levels, temperature, humidity, and nutrient concentrations, allowing automated adjustments to optimize conditions for plant health. Various hydroponic systems, from wick systems to aeroponics, offer versatile cultivation methods.
However, managing the environment in a greenhouse manually for hydroponic farming presents several challenges:
1. Temperature Control: Maintaining optimal temperatures is crucial, but fluctuations can occur due to external weather conditions, making consistent control difficult.
2. Humidity Regulation: High humidity can lead to mold and plant diseases, while low humidity may cause plant stress, requiring constant monitoring.
3. Light Management: Providing sufficient and controlled light, especially in regions with varying sunlight, often necessitates artificial lighting systems, which can be expensive and complex to manage.
4. Ventilation: Proper air circulation is essential to prevent the buildup of excess heat, humidity, or carbon dioxide, yet achieving uniform airflow can be challenging.
5. Water Quality: Ensuring consistent water quality and managing pH, nutrient concentrations, and salinity are vital to prevent plant stress or nutrient lockout.
6. Nutrient Imbalance: Regular testing and adjustment of nutrient solutions are necessary, as imbalances can lead to poor plant health or reduced yields.
7. Pest Control: While greenhouses provide a barrier to pests, some still infiltrate, and managing them in a controlled environment requires careful planning and sometimes biological control.
8. Energy Costs: The need for lighting, heating, cooling, and water circulation systems can result in high energy consumption, driving up operational costs.
9. Disease Management: Disease can spread quickly in a hydroponic system, so early detection and isolation of affected plants are critical.
10. System Maintenance: The complexity of maintaining pumps, sensors, and automated systems requires regular upkeep and technical know-how to avoid breakdowns.

3.2 Algorithms and control strategy
In the proposed system, various algorithms and control strategies are employed for precise nutrient dosing, pH regulation, and lighting control. These strategies leverage real-time sensor data and automation to optimize crop growth in hydroponics. Here’s a detailed discussion of these control mechanisms:
Nutrient Dosing Control
The Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) control algorithm is used to regulate nutrient levels in hydroponic systems. This algorithm adjusts the dosing of nutrients based on the difference between the measured electrical conductivity (EC) and the desired setpoint. The controller measures the deviation between the current EC level and the target value, adjusting nutrient dosing proportionally to this error. The system continuously monitors the EC sensor readings and adjusts the nutrient solution accordingly. When the EC falls below the desired level (indicating nutrient depletion), the system triggers the nutrient pumps to release the appropriate amount of nutrients. The dosing is fine-tuned to maintain optimal nutrient levels without oversaturating the water, which could harm plant health.
pH Control
The system uses pH sensor feedback to constantly monitor water acidity and bases its control actions on fuzzy logic to smooth out any abrupt pH fluctuations. This is crucial for preventing sudden pH shifts that could damage plants or lead to nutrient lockout.
Lighting Control
Lighting is managed using light intensity feedback with PID Control. The BH-1750 sensor measures ambient light intensity in real-time, providing input for controlling artificial lighting to maintain consistent light exposure for crops. Similar to nutrient dosing, a PID controller adjusts the lighting based on the deviation from the desired light intensity levels. If the ambient light is insufficient (e.g., during cloudy days or at night), the artificial grow lights are powered on proportionally to the deficit. The system dynamically adjusts grow lights based on real-time sensor readings, ensuring that crops receive a consistent amount of light throughout the day. The combination of natural sunlight and artificial grow lights helps maximize photosynthesis and plant growth efficiency while minimizing energy use by turning off lights when sufficient sunlight is available.
Temperature Control
Temperature control is a critical aspect of ensuring optimal growing conditions for crops. Temperature regulation is performed by combination of PID control leveraging real-time sensor feedback to maintain stable temperatures. Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) Control is employed to regulate temperature by maintaining the setpoint temperature range, which is ideal for the specific crops being grown. The desired temperature is defined based on the crop requirements, typically between 18°C and 30°C for many hydroponic plants. The system calculates the difference (error) between the current temperature (measured by the sensor) and the desired setpoint temperature. If the temperature is too low or too high, the proportional component adjusts heating or cooling accordingly. For example, if the temperature is higher than the setpoint, water chillers or ventilating fans are turned on or adjusted to bring the temperature closer to the target.
IoT technology in automated hydroponics highlights several significant benefits that contribute to enhanced accuracy, efficiency, and environmental sustainability. These advantages stem from the integration of sensors, real-time data processing, automation, and advanced control strategies, which enable precise and efficient management of critical environmental factors such as nutrient dosing, pH levels, lighting, and temperature. The summary of the key benefits, along with areas where the proposed system is as follows:
