Abstract

The plant is not only important for human life but it also can use as a decoration because it’s suitable to put at the house and workplace. Moreover, Gardening not only can help people to reduce their stress but also can improve mental health no matter by growing plants indoor or outdoor. The title of this project is Development of Plant Automated Monitoring and Self-Watering System. The process of the watering plant can be done in 2 types of different ways which is can be done manually or automatically. To determine whether the crops need water or not, it's quite difficult to know if it is done manually. This is because watering the plants needs an appropriate volume of water to make sure the crops are always in good condition. Besides, busy life is one of the reasons why users face problems taking care of their plants. They also may not be able to refill the tank because of working abroad or traveling for a long time. Therefore, this project is to create a system that should be able to monitor the water level at the main water tank and involves a system from manual to automatic watering. The technology will integrate all data from the crop's built-in monitoring system to an automatic management system. Each subsystem component is equipped with devices and several sensors, as well as wireless communication modules that allow the server and IoT platform to communicate with one another. Aside from that, this device was developed and implemented with a design and a low cost with a wide range of functionality of free energy method, where the system capable to refill the main tank automatic was successfully obtained in this project. This project is also suitable for those who do not have enough time to take care of their crops.
