Currently, the control of cultivated plants is still manual, where farmers watering
and checking soil moisture on the planting object. However, we cannot avoid technological
progress in this life because technological progress will run following scientific advances.
Therefore, every innovation is created to provide positive benefits for life. The ideal chili
cultivation planning requires information about climatic conditions that play a significant
role in chili cultivation is rainfall. Plant growth will be incredible if there is sufficient water
supply; humidity for chili plants ranges from 60-80%. Therefore, chili cultivation planning
must pay attention to rainfall because related to water availability. Smart Garden prototype
design is a solution for taking appropriate actions during extreme weather and reducing
human error. A prototype Smart Garden-based Internet of Things (IoT) using the Blynk
app as User Interface (GUI) in the monitoring system and using the Soil Moisture sensor
as input for soil moisture conditions, where the results of the process are sent via Wemos
D1 mini-module to the Blynk server to display the state of soil moisture and automatic
watering.
