AUTOMATIC WATERING SYSTEM WITH SOIL MOISTURE DETECTION ON CACTUS PLANTS

Abstract

In the modern era, the Internet of Things (IoT) has widely applied in various fields, almost all electronic devices are already connected to the internet. Along with the development of technology, the application of technology in agriculture is very important. The monitoring and care of plants is increasing. Therefore, the importance of plant care and monitoring so that the plants planted can produce good quality. In the final project, designed a plant watering system and automatic plant monitoring that is connected to the internet network so that users can care for and monitor plants so that they are awake and produce quality plants. This system is designed using NodeMCU as sending data between the system to the webserver and the telegram bot to give an action to the plant for watering. In this final project, it has been successfully designed an automatic plant monitoring and watering system by reading the moisture content in the soil. The result is the system can provide the right water requirements for plants. Then the system sends information to web pages that have been built so that users can monitor their plants anytime and anywhere.
