Livestock health monitoring via IoT sensors

Purpose

1. Collect real-time health data (temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, ammonia) from IoT sensors in fish tanks and ponds.

2. Automatically alert farm managers to abnormal conditions, reducing fish morbidity/mortality.

3. Maintain historical records for regulatory compliance and yield optimization.

4. Automate workflows for emergency response, feeding adjustment, and water quality management.

5. Enable predictive analytics based on long-term sensor trends.

Trigger Conditions

1. Sensor data pushed or polled over MQTT/HTTP/API at fixed intervals (e.g., every 10 minutes).

2. Threshold breaches (customizable per species) detected, e.g., dissolved oxygen < 5 mg/L.

3. Communication loss with any IoT device > 30 mins.

4. API/webhook calls receiving specific JSON payloads from sensor gateways.
