Enhanced IoT Solution System for Smart Agriculture in Indonesia

Abstract

This innovative solution encompasses an IoT-based smart agricultural system. The system includes a solar panel power supply, a weather station (monitoring temperature, humidity, air pressure, wind speed and direction, raindrop), an air quality monitoring module (measuring NH4, CO2, and PM2.5 levels), a soil quality measurement module, a microcontroller, a GSM cellular module for internet connectivity, and an automated relay actuator for a water pump. The water pump's operation is contingent upon the soil moisture levels, ensuring efficient irrigation. The utilization of an IoT-driven smart agricultural system enables real-time monitoring of weather conditions, air quality, and agricultural soil conditions. Additionally, it facilitates the remote control of automated water pumps via smartphones—an aspect that remains unattainable within the confines of traditional Indonesian agriculture. Leveraging an Android application on smartphones, this system delivers detailed insights. To present the collected sensor data in accordance with prevailing environmental and soil states, a dedicated Android application has been developed. Moreover, this application facilitates the control of the water pump to irrigate arid soil as required. The data is transmitted via the internet to a cloud server, serving as the intermediary that receives data from the IoT system's sensors positioned at the farm.
