Black soldier fly (BSF) farming in egg cycle based on IoT technology

Black Soldier Fly (BSF) or maggot (Indonesia language) has some cycles in its life. One of important phase is egg period. In this phase, the mature fly will produce egg. The success of this maggot livestock starts from the number of eggs produced. The egg produced is depend on the environment of the cage likes temperature, humidity and light. This study implements internet of things (IoT) to control the environment of the cage to get the ideal condition. This research aims to increase the number of egg produced by using IoT. Some sensors temperature, humidity and light are used to get the condition. The equipment, fan, lamp and misty water are used to control the environment cage. The system detects every ten minutes to decide whether equipment is turned on or not. This research uses two cages, type A using IoT, and type B natural (not using IOT). The result shows that cage type A produced egg more than type B.
