Abstract

Soil moisture is the main aspect that needs to be considered so that plants are maintained and grow well. The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of physical devices connected to the internet, enabling them to collect and share data. This research produces a system that will maintain soil moisture for chili plant seeds at the ideal range and can be controlled remotely via a device connected to the Internet (IoT), using a soil moisture sensor to detect the level of soil dryness. If the soil is detected as dry, the pump will activate and spray until the humidity in the soil increases. Once the humidity in the soil increases to the upper limit, the pump will automatically stop. However, on the other hand, if the soil is initially detected as wet, the pump will remain inactive and the pump will be active when the moisture in the soil is dry. The chili plant watering monitoring system can be carried out at close range using an LCD and remotely using the Internet of Things via the Blynk application. This system can maintain the soil moisture percentage value at 65% with the time needed to increase soil moisture from dry conditions is 2 minutes 11 seconds
