Perancangan Website IoT untuk Monitoring dan Kontrol Kelembapan serta Penyiraman Otomatis Pertanian Cabai Rawit

The development of the Internet of Things (IoT) offers significant opportunities for improving the efficiency of agricultural systems, particularly in the management of horticultural crops such as cayenne pepper. This research discusses the design and implementation of an IoT-based website to monitor soil moisture and control an automatic watering system. The system is built using a soil moisture sensor connected to an ESP32 microcontroller to transmit data in real time to a server. The website is designed as the main interface, displaying soil condition data and device status, and providing manual and automatic control features. The automatic watering system is regulated based on a humidity threshold that can be configured through the website.
Test results show that the website displays data accurately and responsively, and the watering system can activate automatically when humidity falls below the set threshold. This implementation helps improve air efficiency, facilitates monitoring, and supports more modern and sustainable agricultural practices. Therefore, this system has the potential to be an effective technological solution for the cultivation of cayenne pepper and other agricultural commodities.
