To develop and increase salt production, a Smart Salthouse maker design and monitoring system was held. Doing something like this on a narrow area and can produce salt all year round, because it doesn't need a large area and only requires land that can be used at any time. We can change the pan as an evaporation cup because we can use the Smart Salthouse maker, there are several sensors as control system information as a temperature regulator for the salthouse maker by utilizing the thermistor and cast hiter as a heater in the room that contributes heat at a certain time. Sensor reading information is also used to identify information on field conditions including temperature and water salinity data. As a function of the rate of evaporation of water and the rate of salt deposition in real time using sensors and electronic circuits integrated with the Arduino Mega2560 Microcontroller and placed continuously in the field (Salthouse maker). Through this activity, it is also possible to identify data information from conditions in the field in real time. Information from several aspects of field conditions is controlled using sensors with certain criteria and then represented through the application interface in the form of a database. Data obtained from the field, using a thermistor heater and cast hiter requires an electric power of 100 watts/hourtime. And able to produce salt as much as 5.3 Kg within 24x7 hours in a container of 40 x 30 x 5 cm3.
