Abstract

Plants need sufficient water resources to be healthy and fertile. Excess amount of water and less amount of water supplied to plant may cause the plant to wither and die. Past research has focused on the method on how to water the plant water on the right time with the right amount of water. This research focused on how to develop an auto watering system using Arduino that watering plant at the right time with the right amount. This system is to facilitate human in watering plant without involving any manpower and help user to monitor remotely. To develop a fully automated system that intelligently measures the soil moisture, different approaches of methods used in varying fields were reviewed. The most suitable system had been selected to be a source of ideas and guidance. An own idea proposed to improve the approaches of existing systems. The final components and materials needed to support an efficient auto watering system was obtained by analyzing and testing the prototypes. Smart Irrigation System with LoRa is a system that facilitates human in watering the plant. Meanwhile, Arduino works together with the soil moisture sensor upon detecting the moisture level of plants and send signal to control the on and off the water pump. The system also comes with Temperature and humidity sensor to control the retractable awning. All the data obtain will be send using LoRa, it is new technology that use a low-power wide-area network technology. It is based on spread spectrum modulation techniques derived from chirp spread spectrum technology and can send data up to 30 Km.
