Abstract

The purpose of this research is to produce a system that can make it easier for users to maintain one of the water parameters, namely TDS (Total Dissolve Solid) using IoT (Internet of Things) based technology. The hardware used is an ESP32 as a microcontroller that can be connected to an internet connection via Wi-Fi and a DFROBOT TDS Meter sensor as its input. Using the Peristaltic Pump as a motor to do the nutrient dosing. Peristaltic Pump is run using Relay Module 8 Channel 5 V. Water Pump for water change using L298N Motor Driver and Continuous Motor Servo to perform mineral administration. The software used to communicate directly with the device is Blynk. Users can set tools such as scheduling, TDS range, and desired nutrient dosage via Blynk. The system first measures TDS as a reference tool for work. This system works if the TDS in the water has exceeded the maximum TDS specified by the user and automatically adds minerals to the ideal TDS that has been inputted by the user, if the TDS has reached the minimum TDS, the water change process stops. The nutritional dosing system also uses TDS as a condition in addition to the arrival schedule for dosing, if the TDS is more than the maximum TDS just before the nutrition dosing system wants to run, the TDS will be lowered to the minimum TDS first by changing the water. Furthermore, the system will provide minerals if the TDS is less than the ideal TDS. Results from this research show that the accuracy level of the dosing pump has an accuracy of 99.5% and the result of scheduling system also works 100%.
