Abstrakt: In this research, a microclimate conditioning chamber was built for capsicum frutecens research. Our growth chamber-named AgroCUBE-is an automated growth chamber which can be controlled remotely. AgroCUBE was designed to control temperature, air relative humidity, and soil humidity. It is also equipped with three internal camera, LED based lighting module, an LCD user interface for onsite user, and a single board computer serves as local server in which climate data and plant image from internal camera will be stored. We also made a communication architecture consist of a cloud server-to which AgroCUBE will send climatic data as well as plant image- and mobile apps so user can maintain and control AgroCUBE remotely. In a two hours test, it is shown that AgroCUBE was able to maintain chamber temperature at 27°C with stability of±1°C and air relative humidity at 70% RH with stability of±6% RH. Meanwhile, it also able to increase soil humidity from 55% to 85% in 6.5 minutes. This temperature and humidity range has been confirmed as optimum level for most vegetables in tropical region. Meanwhile, both the onsite (LCD) as well as offsite (mobile apps) user interface was designed with maximum of ten operational steps and maximum delay of ten seconds. It has been confirmed to work perfectly. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
