Implementasi Teknologi Sensor Multi-Parameter untuk Optimalisasi Penyiraman Tanaman Berbasis IoT

Abstract

The agricultural sector is crucial for sustaining human life, yet it faces challenges in optimizing resource use and enhancing efficiency. This research addresses the issue by developing an automatic plant watering system based on the Internet of Things (IoT) using multi-parameter sensor technology. The system integrates moisture, temperature, pH, and nutrient sensors to provide comprehensive and accurate data about soil conditions, ensuring precise and effective irrigation. The implemented IoT-based system demonstrated a 40% reduction in water usage compared to manual methods and significantly improved plant health and growth. The novelty of this research lies in the integration of diverse sensors into a single automated irrigation system, offering a more complete understanding of plant needs and enhancing smart agriculture practices.
