Abstract: In hydroponic cultivation, maintaining proper nutrient concentration and environmental conditions is essential for healthy plant growth. Continuous monitoring of these parameters is therefore an important requirement in hydro- ponic systems. Although several IoT-based solutions have been proposed for hydroponic monitoring, many existing approaches depend on complex wireless communication methods or expensive sensing devices, which are not suitable for small-scale or low-cost setups. In this work, a simple and low-cost IoT- based hydroponic monitoring system is presented. The system focuses on effi- cient acquisition of real-time data using a serial communication approach along with web-based visualization. Key parameters such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, temperature, and humidity are monitored continuously. Experiments conducted in a controlled hydroponic setup show that the monitored parameters exhibit stable behavior over time, indicating reliable system performance. The proposed system demonstrates that effective real-time monitoring in hydroponic environments can be achieved using a simpler and more affordable system architecture.
