Plant Watering System on The Basis of Internet of Things (IoT) With Protocol of Message Queue Telemetry Transport (MQTT).

The construction of greenhouse has not been built according to the existing climate. As a matter of fact, the expectation of meeting the quantity, quality and production continuity has not realized well or at optimum level. Thus, the efforts in improving the quality of greenhouse are necessary. One of the ways to do that is by increasing the control on the greenhouse in the matters of monitoring and controlling. The controlling in this case involves the air temperature, the air humidity, the soil moisture and the water distribution control. Therefore, through this study, a plant watering system will be created which enables it to control the air temperature, the soil moisture and the air humidity on the plants automatically. This system will be built based on IoT with Protocol of MQTT so that the system can be monitored and controlled from the distance in realtime. With the existence of IoT-based automation system with Protocol of MQTT on the plant sprinkler, it can increase the time efficiency, power and energy, as well as optimize the process of plant growth and development.
