520			_aThe project study, Development of Microcontroller-Based Aeroponic System, was designed to monitor, detect, and provide efficiency for modern technology when it comes to farming. The automation of the features of the project is done coded in the microcontroller NodeMCU. The prototype is programmed to switch on or off the attached devices every time it goes beyond the set limit or value. There are smart sensors for proper detection of temperature, humidity, light intensity, and water level. There are air coolers and Peltier cooling systems to maintain the desired temperature. The LED light that provides light frequency needed by the plants to stimulate photosynthesis. The misting process is intended to achieve the desired humidity and provide proper aeration for plants. There is a relay that acts as a switch to properly turn "ON" or "OFF" the specific device. The LCD I2C driver provides the actual display of the parameters inside the prototype. The CCTV camera is used to monitor and see the plants even when the user is away. The Blynk Application shows real-time readings of the parameters when online or connected. The project was created using local-quality materials to ensure its durability. It was tested and validated in terms of its hardware components, program execution, and Blynk application interface and responses. All of the tests were performed and met the expected outcomes. Thus, all the evaluation results passed. It was evaluated by 25 respondents, composed of five Experts, five Agriculturists, and fifteen Farmers in Sariaya, Quezon Province. and was assessed using Likert’s scale and descriptive interpretation, which used the TUP evaluation instrument to get the mean for functionality, aesthetics, workability, durability, economy, and safety. The grand mean obtained was 4.51 out of 5, which is described as "Highly Acceptable". The study concluded based on its findings and results that (1) the prototype can grow strawberries aeroponically; (2) the project is highly functional and recommended for small-scale businesses not only to farmers but also to simple people like us; (3) the use of local and cheap yet high-quality materials maintains the project's quality and efficiency; and (4) the advice and recommendations of panels and technical experts contributed to the project's feasibility.
