Penerapan IoT dengan Algoritma Fuzzy dan Mikrokontroler ESP32 dalam Monitoring Penyiraman

Abstract

Smart farming has become a major focus in the development of modern agricultural technology. In this context, the Internet of Things (IoT) offers innovative solutions to increase productivity and efficiency in crop management. This research introduces an IoT-based plant watering monitoring system that uses a fuzzy algorithm and an ESP32 microcontroller. This system is designed to automatically regulate plant watering based on environmental conditions and plant needs. The ESP32 microcontroller acts as the brain of the system, collecting environmental data such as soil moisture, air temperature, and relative humidity. This data is analyzed using a fuzzy algorithm to determine plant watering needs in real-time. Based on the output of the fuzzy algorithm, the system automatically controls the water pump to water the plants according to the specified needs. The application of fuzzy algorithms allows the system to overcome uncertainty in plant watering decisions, especially in the face of complex variations in environmental conditions. With the adoption of IoT technology, farmers can monitor and control crop watering efficiently through web interfaces or mobile applications, even remotely. This research shows that the integration of IoT with fuzzy algorithms and ESP32 microcontrollers can be an effective solution in managing crop watering, increasing overall agricultural productivity, while reducing water and energy consumption.
