Popis: Tomatoes need a proper watering system in order to grow and provide optimal yields. The factors that must be considered in watering the tomatoes are soil moisture and air temperature. The soil moisture needed for planting tomatoes is between 60% to 80% with a temperature rate between 24 to 28 degrees Celsius. We propose to implement an IoT based agricultural technology innovation to address the problem of precise watering system based on soil moisture and air temperature rate, which can be controlled remotely via internet connection. This system was designed and assembled using ESP8266 with soil moisture sensor and DHT11. This system was also programmed to be controlled using the Telegram Messenger application. The data read by the sensor could be seen through the Telegram Bot and do watering the plants automatically or manually. Based on several experiments conducted in this study, the system could do watering as well as maintain and control soil moisture and air temperature properly. By using this system, it will be easier for farmers to control and maintain tomato plants from anywhere and anytime through the Telegram Messenger.
