IMPLEMENTASI INTERNET OF THINGS PADA MONITORING KESUBURAN TANAMAN CABAI

Abstract

Plant growth depends on the level of soil fertility and also the availability of water content in the soil. To maintain plant growth, a way is needed so that the process of watering plants can be switched from the manual watering method to a more modern one by utilizing information technology, the internet of things. This research takes the example of chili plants as a plant that will be an example of the application of the internet of things, especially the process of watering plants according to the water requirements needed by chili plants. Systems (tools & software) that allow the process of watering plants to be carried out automatically were developed with the aim of making work that is usually done by humans easier, especially in watering plants. With the application of the internet of thought in the process of watering the plants, it is expected that the amount of water needed in the process of watering the plants will be in accordance with the needs of the plants. This study designed an internet of things-based tool that would be able to water plants automatically using a soil moisture sensor at soil moisture content YL-69 and controlled by nodemcu and would receive instructions from an Android device that could provide information on soil moisture values according to soil pH. suitable for chili plants. This research has produced an internet-based plant watering system of things that has automated the process of watering plants according to the needs of these plants.
