PENGEMBANGAN PERANGKAT MULTI SENSOR UNTUK PRECISION FARMING MONITORING MEDIA TANAM

Abstract

The development of a multi-sensor device and the implementation of a data transmission system to a database for predicting plant suitability parameters are the focus of this paper. This technology enables accurate and continuous data collection for agricultural condition monitoring. The study utilizes a DHT22 sensor for air temperature and humidity, a pH sensor for soil pH, a soil moisture sensor for soil moisture, a rain gauge sensor for rainfall, and a raindrop sensor for rain detection. The data from these sensors are managed by an ESP32 microcontroller and transmitted to a Firebase database. The multi-sensor device was functionally tested and compared with valid reference sensor readings. The results show that all the multi-sensor devices and the recording system in the Firebase database functioned well. The average measurement error for the DHT22 temperature sensor was 1.15°C, with 2.9% for humidity, 0.72% for the pH sensor, and the soil moisture sensor showed 100% accuracy. This system can be applied as a parameter for predicting the suitability of plant types with soil and environmental conditions.
