Abstract
(Orthoptera: Gryllidae) Or better known as cricket is an insect that can be cultivated in a controlled room[2]. Crickets can be used as forage, cosmetic mixtures, processed into cricket flour, and entomophagy[3]. The right method is needed in cricket rearing so that the harvest can be maximized. Crickets are susceptible to changes in environmental temperature[1]. An appropriate environment temperature is needed to maximize the growth of cricket. The temperature between 30°C and 35°C are indicated to be the ideal temperature for cricket growth[2]. An increase in temperature above 35°C can result in the death of crickets[2]. This paper presents the design of the cage with an IoT-based temperature control system. The cage is designed with a heating element, blower, and an automated drinking sprayer. In addition, this paper will also contribute to the application of the environmental performance of insect farming systems that are extremely limited in scope[1].
