Abstract

In this era of new technology, technology is the best alternative for improving the quality of agricultural resources. In addition, most technologies are integrated with Internet Things (IoT) where sensors or objects interact with the internet. Agricultural control and monitoring systems using IoT were developed primarily in small-scale gardens. The most important thing in agriculture is irrigation. This study focuses on water control and monitoring using several sensors. Traditional or manual control causes farmers to be unable to control the quantity of water for a shower at a time because the need for tap water for a cucumber needs to be precise. Moreover, this causes waste. Therefore, a system has been developed to address this problem by using WiFi as a wireless protocol. Thus, farmers can control and monitor remotely. Farmers can also analyze with data obtained from parameters such as temperature, humidity, light intensity and soil moisture. This study also wanted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the feedback control method on small-scale agriculture. A test was conducted to see the difference between these two methods. Regular watering is by supplying water to the plant at a set time. Whereas for feedback-based irrigation is based on feedback from soil moisture. All of these functions requiring internet connection to areas or places with hotspots. In addition, a database has been created to store the history and current status of sensors and water pumps. This data is also accessible on the web provided. As the result, the schedule irrigation produced waste in water resources than automatic irrigation.
