Rancang Bangun Alat Penyiram Sayuran Otomatis Menggunakan Solenoid Valve Berbasis Mikrokontroler dan Sensor Kelembapan

Abstract

With the development of science and technology, everything is done instantly. Of course, everyone is also competing with each other to create various innovations to make everyone's work easier. The development of science and the latest technology means that humans can always provide innovation and creative ideas for doing things. Currently, almost all activities require effective automation and make human work easier, especially in the agricultural sector such as automatic plant watering. The application of technology has an important impact on farmers because it can increase the productivity of farmers' businesses. Apart from that, the impact of applying technology can provide benefits for farmers such as preventing or reducing the risk of failure in farming. Technology can replace the role of farmers in managing and maintaining the condition of crops. The author conducted research aimed at making an automatic vegetable growing tool using an ESP 32 microcontroller, soil moisture sensor, DHT11 temperature sensor with solenoid valve so that this tool is expected to be able to grow more than one type of vegetable at a time and without paying attention to environmental factors or the location of the vegetable. planted which the author hopes can be developed further for a larger scale and more varied plants.
