Design and implementation of ecoholistic vertiminaponic with automated control and internet of things based monitoring system for sustainable urban farming

The urban farming plant system is a type of plant that requires extra monitoring in its maintenance. Internet of Things is a concept whereby an object has ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction. In otherwise, optimizing limited spaces in urban areas we can combine several cultivation technique as integrated urban farming consist of plant culture, aquaculture apiary, veterinary, etc. This study aims to create smartly integrated all those cultivations as one cycle system that we called Ecoholistic Vertiminaponic using automated control and monitoring applications on the systems by utilizing the Internet of Things using Android and Cloud smart phones. Applications on Android smart phones are made to be able to know the sensor data that exist on the Cloud and also control the lights, pumps, and fans on the vertiminaponic system through Cloud. Both tasks can be done remotely via an Android smart phone connected to the internet. By using this system, activities that should be done directly can be done remotely via the internet, including in the monitoring and control of plant systems. As the cycle of cultivation system Ecoholistic Vertiminaponic will support urban sustainable farming and its food self-sufficiency.
