Smart IoT Water Sprinkle and Monitoring System for chili plant

Abstract

An agrarian country like Indonesia that has many diverse plants such as chilies that have economic value and very popular as food spices in Indonesia. However the problem is chili plants are very sensitive to several factors such as in soil moisture and weather changes and lack of monitoring. Automatic Water Sprinkle and Monitoring System is based on the problem mentioned before with the incorporation of IoT Technology in automatic water sprinkle and real-time monitoring. This system is designed to replace conventional chili sprinkle to automatic. The system using the moisture sensor to capture current moisture of the soil, and data will be processed in Arduino as microcontroller. This data will determine humidity to open or close valve. This system also uses pH sensor which is used to detect acidity or alkalinity for chili plant and EC sensor to determine the nutrient solution of the soil. The system is also equipped with neutralizing pH and EC automatically. pH sensor and EC sensors will be automated data collection, graphing, and data analysis. The result will be open valve to neutralizing fluid PH and EC. Processed data will be sent to the Web App via Ethernet Shield, Farmers can monitor chili plants in real-time using a smartphone. This paper focuses on optimize the use of water as needed of chili plants and Internet of Things (IoT) can be used to data analysis for managed and controlled in detail and precisely by Sensor.
