<![CDATA[Managing household organic waste accumulation remains an environmental challenge requiring technological solutions that are appropriate, efficient, innovative, and rapid. This study aims to design, construct, and test the performance of an automatic electric composter based on the ESP32 microcontroller, fully integrated with a 100-Watt PTC heating system, a 150-Watt AC motor for primary shredding, and an IoT-based remote monitoring system using the Blynk application. Comprehensive testing was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the initial waste shredding mechanism and the temperature rise within the composting chamber. Hardware performance results demonstrated that the mechanical shredding process operated with high precision according to the microcontroller's automatic timer settings, specifically over a 5-minute interval. Furthermore, the PTC heating system successfully raised the composting chamber's temperature gradually and consistently, starting from an initial 37.19°C and reaching a maximum setpoint of 40.00°C. Additionally, sensors recorded a peak temperature spike of 40.44°C due to residual heat accumulation after the relay cut off power to the heater. In that test confirmed that daily temperature data transmission to the Blynk dashboard and the automatic actuation of the discharge door via an servo motor operated in real-time without latency issues. In conclusion, this IoT-integrated electric composter functions optimally according to the initial design, making it suitable for immediate implementation to accelerate the processing of daily household organic waste in a smart and eco-friendly manner.]]>
