Abstract

A plant management system is very important for every farmer nowadays, especially with the current technology that can be offered around the world. Plant management systems are very important for every farmer today, especially with the current technology that can be offered around the world. This is also caused by incorrect watering and fertilizing and can result in the plant being damaged, not flowering and not growing well. The main purpose of this project is to monitor plant management consisting of fertilizing and watering plants or gardens in the house automatically with the help of the Internet of Things (IoT) that connects hardware to smartphones using the Thingspeak and Telegram Bot application. Sensor measurements of pH, moisture, humidity, temperature, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (NPK) have been used to check the irrigation and fertilization systems. This system makes the proper use of a Capacitive Soil Moisture Sensor, a Soil Multi-Parameter Sensor, and DHT22 sensor to help monitor and keep records of plant growth changes. With all the data collected from the sensors, it will be processed by the microcontroller which is the ESP32 and sent to the cloud server via Wi-Fi. Since the system is integrated with the IoT platform, it allows users to monitor plant management remotely from the user interface by accessing specific Internet Protocol (IP) addresses on mobile electronic devices such as smartphones, laptops, and others. The results of the development system can facilitate users or small-scale farmers at home to monitor through just the application. Furthermore, the development of this system can promote overall optimal plant growth, and this IoT-based system can enhance benefits by providing real-time monitoring and control capabilities through the integration and connectivity of sensors.
