Abstract

This project is aimed to develop an IOT node device that transmitted soil moisture information to an IOT server that relays those information to a Web page and an Android application. IOT is Internet of Things technology where anything can be connected to the internet and can be access from anywhere while node is a connection point. The remote soil monitoring via IOT node will help people or farmer monitor agricultural soil moisture and it is also very efficient in terms of collecting and recording soil growth related data since the data is stored online on the cloud and user can export the data into Microsoft excel format for personal record. The presence of these system, to some extent can help researchers or farmer to investigate further the situation of the most appropriate care for the plants. Monitor the soil conditions are difficult, particularly involving the type soil structure. The development of this system consists of the construction of IOT node to sense the moisture data and transmit it to the IOT server via Wifi module, the development of web page and Android application which is medium for the user to monitor the moisture data from anywhere, anytime they want as long as there is internet. The IOT node is build from Wido board which is a microcontroller with build in Wifi module. The completed system is tested with a number of soils with different level of moistures. The result shows the system sense the moisture correctly and available to update the moisture data in interval of 30 seconds to the IOT server which the developed web page and Android application can view and record those data.
