Popis: Water is the main requirement for the agricultural crops. However, improper amount of water can disturb the plant growth. In modern agriculture, this issue can be tackled by providing the appropriate amount of water for the plant. One of the methods is automatic control system based on the type of physical variables, which indicates water needs for plants [1]. Physical variables that are frequently used as an indicator are temperature and soil moisture [2].The automatic control system can also be applied in agricultural areas that have less water availability. This is due to the automatic control system can help saving water and operating costs [3]. Efforts in building optimal and efficient automated control system can be easily done with complete access to information. One way to access the information control system is via wireless communications [3,4]. From some of these challenges an automatic control system will be built on the research for controlling irrigation in telemetry based on temperature and soil moisture.
