Abstract
The drying process is a method to preserve and improve the taste, flavor, and texture of ripe bananas. During natural sun drying, dust, rain, insects, pests, and microorganisms may contaminate bananas. As a result, the Parabolic Greenhouse Solar Dryer (PGSD) was created to protect bananas from the contaminations. However, a human inspection of the conditions in PGSD is required to ensure the product’s quality. Using modern technology to monitor and control the conditions in PGSD rather than humans is then essential. Due to the advantage of Internet of Things (IoT) technology and wireless sensor networks, this works aims to developed smart monitor and control system using IoT, MQTT and Node-RED for PGSD. The developed system can monitor temperature and humidity inside PGSD using low cost IoT. The acquisition data will transmit data through MQTT protocol and then, real-time data visualization dashboard was engendered by Node-RED. LINE notify is easy to use to notify farmers in case of deviant situation happen inside PGSD. The system can be assisted farmers by getting live data from PGSD to take a necessary step to enable them to do smart solar dryer by also increasing the values of drying bananas and saving resources.
