Internet of Things Implementation for Development of Smart Agriculture Applications

Abstract

The era of the industrial revolution 4.0 is an era that puts forward the concept that puts forward the Internet of Things (IoT). This concept changes from object-oriented to smart objects and makes connections not limited by time and space. The agricultural sector is one sector that adapts to the direction of automation and data processing with the development of a smart agriculture system. The purpose of this research is to change the pattern of agricultural land management from conventional concepts to become much more productive and efficient. The utilization of internet of things technology is carried out through a control and monitoring system. Manager agricultural land can regulate and predict crop yields so that agricultural productivity is more optimal. Some of the supporting devices for the agriculture system are the ESP microcontroller 8266, soil moisture sensor, temperature sensor, humidity sensor DHT-11, and jet pump mini. Sketch Arduino IDE (Integrated Development Environment) as a programming application and interface for the ESP 8266 device. The development of this smart agriculture application uses the method Design Science Research Method (DSRM). The testing phase is carried out with function and performance tests by using the ThingView mobile device.
