Rancang bangun Prototype Pemberian Pakan Ikan Nila Otomatis (Fish Feeder) Berbasis IOT Menggunakan Mikrokontroler Nodemcu dan Aplikasi Android

Abstract

Tilapia cultivation using artificial ponds has attracted many people. In increasing the production of tilapia, intensive cultivation needs to be done by feeding in a scheduled and appropriate manner. Unscheduled and unbalanced feeding will cause material loss or waste and will affect water quality which can interfere with the survival of the fish being kept. The author designed a tilapia feeding tool that can work automatically and scheduled and can be controlled remotely and analyze the comparison of feeding using a tool designed with manual feeding. The tool is designed using a NodeMCU microcontroller so that the device can be connected via via the internet which has a wider range and can be controlled using Android through the application to be programmed. The tool works to provide feed as much as 3 times a day at 8.00 WIB, 13.00 WIB and 18.00 WIB and manual feeding is done the same as automatic feeding. The tool works with the response time from the command of the android application to turn on (feed will come out) or turn off (feed will stop coming out) servo motor that is between 1 second to 2 seconds and the weight of the given feed has been adjusted. Feeding using a tool designed to have an average weight growth rate increase of 2.1 grams from the initial weight and fish fed manually had an increase in growth rate of an average weight of 1.9 grams.
