Portable Smart System on Chip for Moisture Detection and Watering Melon Plants
Keywords:
Portable, smart system, SoC, melon plantsAbstract
Nowadays, digital transformation has become a part of everyday life. One important sector is agriculture. Agricultural technology was developed for the needs of greenhouse Polije as a technology factory development unit. One of the challenges for greenhouse farmers is monitoring the soil condition of melon plants, which requires watering according to the plant's soil moisture. Precision agricultural technology has a new look and supports the implementation of smart systems on chips in portable form. The portable smart system on chip is equipped with a processing and controlling unit, namely ESP32 and several supporting sensors. The results of the sensor readings become a benchmark for watering. Sensor data acquisition shows real time reading results with an error on the DHT22 sensor of 3.73%, the DS18B20 sensor of 3.8% and the soil moisture sensor is known to have an average normal condition at a percentage of 45.6%. The three sensors have an average response time of 2.4 seconds.
