Photovoltaic for smart gasebo in agrotourism island equipped with monitoring and control of the turtle egg hatching environment

The availability of electricity is very important to meet people’s basic needs. Including island communities and remote areas. In September 2020, the South Sulawesi government stated that electricity was one of the triggers for investors to be interested in investing. Tanakeke Island is an agrotourism island area that does not yet have electricity supply but is rich in marine biota, especially turtles. Turtles are one of the marine biota that are conserved and cultivated to ensure their survival. Hatching turtle eggs is not easy, considering that there are criteria that must be met in determining the quality of temperature and humidity of hatching turtle eggs. The ideal temperature for hatching turtle eggs is around 24°C to 32°C with humidity around 68%RH. This research aims to design and manufacture a Mini Gasebo Smart System using photovoltaic as alternative electrical energy in island areas. This system is integrated with a turtle egg hatching system which is controlled using a microcontroller connected to the internet and uses Firebase as a database and Android platform to display the controlled variables. This mini gassebo system for hatching turtle eggs can become an agrotourism system for Tanakeke Island for turtle conservation. The turtle hatching room is designed to be a unique transparent table that allows you to see the condition of the turtle eggs. The system can control ideal air temperature and humidity via an Android application in real time and displays a history of previously measured temperatures.
