Abstract
Hydroponics is becoming increasingly popular because it can be used in unconventional locations such as inside warehouses, marginal lands, and water-scarce regions. Hydrogen (pH), nutrient level, water level, temperature, and other parameters must be monitored on a daily basis in a typical hydroponic design. A hydroponic setup that is not dependent on the environment outside has been developed. The technology consumes less water and fertiliser as compared to a soil-based system. This system uses the idea of a relay and alarm connected to a microcontroller to make sure that nutrient solution is always available. The creation of an internet of things (IoT) network enabled remote parameter monitoring and control, which increased system stability. In addition to measuring and controlling the water level, pH, water stream rate, and EC at this time, the numerous sensors attached to the NFT framework support gathering fundamental system information.
