Smart Automated Aquarium System Using IOT
Project Area of Specialization Internet of ThingsProject SummaryFish keeping is a popular fad; almost people from all the age groups like to keep fish in their home,offices etc for decoration purpose or as a hobby. Fish keeping is itself an industry which comes in agriculture.
Everybody wishes to make an aquarium or pond for growing beautiful fishes as pet or for commercial purpose. But majority of people didn't get proper time for look after them and this leads to the death of the fishes. It has always been a headache to take care of the fish and aquariums. We have to feed our fishes twice a day; we, we have to maintain the temperature have to keep an eye on fish and aquarium.
All these steps are done manually. We all know, today is the world of new scientific inventions. Every day there are some new inventions in almost every field, in the world. World is becoming very fast and automatic because of these inventions day by day. So we have decided very cheap alternative to make the process of maintaining the fish aquarium fully automatic.
It has always been a headache to take care of the fish and aquariums. We have to feed our fish twice a day; we, have to maintain the temperature and have to keep an eye on fish and aquarium that nobody will touch or harm our fishes. We have to check the water leveling and lighting system. All
these steps are done manually.
The objective of our project is to perform following tasks automatically, when really required.
The main objective of the project is to sense the changes via sensors. These changes will be then processed by the Arduino Mega. There will be a temperature sensor, to sense the temperature while the temperature will be increased. The water level indicator sensor will make sure that the water level will not decrease. The automatic feeding system will be responsible to release edible at a given time/twice a day.
To ensure the security keypad lock system will be installed to open the aquarium as per requirements with LCD panel where user enters his/her pin code. The auto refilling system will be interlinked with the water level indicator whenever the level of waterfalls the auto refilling system will fulfill it. The normal temperature of the freshwater aquarium is considered to be 28-30 degrees Celsius. If the temperature exceeds, the controller would start the fan till the desired temperature is not achieved. Lastly, an automated lighting system will adjust as per the requirements.
1: Hardware Making
- Gathering Parts
- Soldering and frame making for Aquarium
- Maintain the water level
2: Configuring Arduino Mega
3: Configuring Feeding system
4: Configuring Ultra Sonic for Feeder Level
5: Configuring IR Sensor for Automatics Lighting system
6: Configuring Temperature sensor
7:Water Level Maintenance:
- Water level indication
- Automated water refilling system using Float switch
8: Writing an algorithm to Ultra sonic for Feeder level indicator
9: Automatic Key Lock system 4x4 along with LCD panel
10: Automated Pump for reverse the water and suction for refilling.
11: Documentation
12: Final Testing
13: Evaluation
Usually aquarium care takers face several problems in maintenance the vitality and health of fishes along with the presentation of the aquarium. Some of the problems are mentioned as under
- Difficulty in feeding the fish
- Difficulty in water leveling
- Difficulty in Temperature system
- Difficulty in Auto water refilling
- Difficulty in Feeder Level
People of all ages enjoys keeping fish in their homes, offices, and other places for decoration purpose or as a hobby. Fish lovers wants to build an aquarium or pond to raise beautiful fish as a pet or for a business. Taking care of the fish and aquariums has always been a hassle. We must feed our fish twice a day, regulate the temperature, and keep an eye on the fish and the tank. All of these steps are completed by hand. So we have decided very cheap alternative to make the process of maintaining the fish aquarium fully automatic.No need of any human interaction will required once it is setup. All things including feeding, stable temperature, water level, etc will work automatically without any further human interaction.
Technical Details of Final DeliverableProject Report: A report of our final project where all the details from initial to final will be written. How we implemented things, details about gadgets we used, time we spent on it. In short, each end every details of our Final Year Project will be mentioned in details. Final Design / Final Product: A Final design or Project along with real Fishes will be present at the time of evaluation where things are crystal clear to all over internal and external juries.
