Perancangan Inkubator Telur Puyuh Otomatis Berbasis IoT dengan Sistem Pemantauan Jarak Jauh Menggunakan Spreedsheat

Abstract

The research method used was an experimental comparative approach by comparing the performance of an IoT-based automatic incubator with a conventional incubator. The automatic incubator utilized an ESP32 microcontroller, DHT22 temperature and humidity sensor, heating lamps, exhaust fan, and automatic egg turning system using a servo motor. Monitoring data were transmitted via internet connection for real-time observation with spreadsheet. Each incubator was tested using 30 quail eggs during an incubation period of 18 days.The results showed that the IoT-based incubator was able to maintain temperature stability within the range of 37.2°C–38.2°C and humidity between 60%–68%. Meanwhile, the conventional incubator experienced larger temperature fluctuations ranging from 35.4°C to 40.0°C. The automatic incubator achieved a hatchability rate of 90% with an average hatch weight of 8.9 g, while the conventional incubator only achieved 70% hatchability with an average hatch weight of 7.8 g. Based on the results, the IoT-based automatic incubator demonstrated better performance in maintaining incubation stability and improving hatchability efficiency compared to the conventional system. The implementation of IoT technology also enabled real-time monitoring and automatic control, making the incubation process more effective and efficient.
