Agriculture known so far is an activity carried out by farmers using traditional equipment and relying on weather, water, and soil conditions. Those are key factors in the success of the agricultural sector. In the era of Internet of Things (IoT), traditional agriculture, which requires a large amount of labor, has changed to adapt to the emergence of this technology. Android monitoring and control application is made to help farmers to get information on environmental and land conditions and to make them easier to take action using smartphone. The Android application is designed to display information according to the current environmental and soil conditions and also it can control a water pump to water dry soil. The information displayed on built Android application is sensors' data connected to the ThingSpeak Cloud. The sensor data displayed on the application is received in the form of analog voltages obtained from all applied sensors. These analog voltages are sent via internet from cloud server which come from IoT hardware system at a farm. Sensor data consists of existing of rain, air temperature, humidity, soil moisture and temperature, wind speed, air quality of NH4, CO2, and PM2.5. In addition to water the farm, users can also control the water pump by pressing a switch and sending data to the cloud server. All functions built of the whole system can work well as expected in the design process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
