This paper presents a study conducted to allow urban farmers to remotely monitor their farm through the design and development of an Internet of Things-based (IoT) microfarm prototype which utilized wick system as planting method. The system involves the detection of three environmental parameters namely, light intensity, soil moisture and temperature through the use of respective sensors which were connected to the Arduino microcontroller, the sensor node of the system. Irregularities in the aforementioned parameters were neutralized through the use of parameter regulators such as LED growlight strips, water pump and air cooler. The data collected by these sensors were gathered by the Arduino microcontroller and were sent to the Web database through the IoT gateway which was the Raspberry Pi computer chip. These data were also sent to an Android unit installed with the Microfarm Companion application which was capable of monitoring and controlling the environmental parameters observed in the microfarm. The application allows the user to view the current value of the parameter involved and to choose whether to control the parameter regulators automatically or manually. The microfarm system runs autonomously which reduces the labor required to produce healthy plants and crops. Mustard greens samples were used in testing the system. After a month of monitoring the height of the samples, it was observed that the average height of the samples is about 0.23 cm taller than the standard height. The proponents has also tested the system functionality by evaluating the sensor data log that provides the values gathered by the sensors and the turn-on times of the parameter regulators. From these data, it can be observed that whenever the values obtained by the sensors fall outside the threshold range, the parameter regulators turns on, indicating that the system is working properly.
