Automated hen house monitoring device

A device comprising:

• a processor configured to execute operations comprising:
• receiving sensor data from a plurality of sensors, wherein the sensor data includes:
• a brightness status indicating a level of brightness inside the hen house,
• a water level status indicating a level of water in a water dispenser,
• a food level status indicating a level of food in a food dispenser,
• a door status indicating a status of a door of the hen house,
• a weight value of one or more eggs,
• a temperature value indicating a temperature of the hen house, and
• a number of eggs in a laying box;
• determining, based on a predetermined rule, control data from the plurality of sensors, wherein the control data includes:
• a light switch status indicating a state of a light in the hen house,
• a water switch status indicating a water solenoid value,
• a food dispensing status indicating a status associated with dispensing food,
• a door status indicating a status of the door, and
• a water heat switch status indicating a state of the water heat switch,
• wherein the predetermined rule includes:
• when a measured temperature inside the hen house is above a predetermined threshold temperature:
• retrieving a time of an increase in a measured weight by a weight scale of an egg laying box,
• determining an amount of time elapsed since an increase of weight value on the egg laying box,
• generating, based on the amount of time elapsed and a predetermined amount of time, an alert message, wherein the alert message indicates that an egg may be spoiled after the predetermined amount of time has elapsed according to the measured temperature,
• transmitting the alert message, and
• generating a command to activate an exhaust fan of the hen house;
• and
• storing a combination of the sensor data and the control data in a memory;
• transmitting the combination of the sensor data and the control data to a data store through a wireless network;
• and
• generating, based at least on the combination of the sensor data and the control data, dashboard data;
• transmitting the dashboard data, causing display of a dashboard, wherein the dashboard represents a graphical user interface based on the dashboard data.

A method for controlling one or more actuators of a hen house, comprising:

• a device comprising a processor configured to execute operations comprising:
• receiving sensor data from a sensor of a plurality of sensors in a hen house, wherein the sensor data indicate a condition of the hen house;
• generating, based on the sensor data, trend data of the hen house;
• determining, based on the trend data and a predetermined rule, a command for controlling the hen house,
• wherein the predetermined rule includes:
• when a measured temperature inside the hen house is above a predetermined threshold temperature:
• retrieving a time of an increase in a measured weight by a weight scale of an egg laying box,
• determining an amount of time elapsed since an increase of weight value on the egg laying box,
• generating, based on the amount of time elapsed and a predetermined amount of time, an alert message, wherein the alert message indicates that an egg may be spoiled after the predetermined amount of time has elapsed according to the measured temperature,
• transmitting the alert message, and
• generating the command to activate an exhaust fan of the hen house;
• and
• transmitting the command, causing an actuator to perform operations according to the command.
