Abstract
Urban farming refers to cultivating plants around the urban environment by utilizing narrow or abandoned land in the house yard. The plants usually cultivated in urban agriculture are horticultural crops, such as lettuce. Agricultural irrigation accuracy is crucial, though it is often a hindrance because urban communities usually have other jobs besides farming and cannot constantly monitor their crops. Therefore, this study aimed to design a simple monitoring tool and make automatic irrigation systems that measure soil moisture, temperature, and water distance in reservoirs in urban agriculture. It used an Internet of Things (IoT)-based design developed using the Solar Cell as an energy source and could be monitored with a smartphone/PC. The system design uses soil moisture and temperature sensors, a mini water pump, and an ultrasonic sensor using the conductivity principle. The results indicated that the IoT-based monitoring device using solar power in urban agriculture was successfully designed using ESP-WROOM-32 displayed on the Blynk platform by testing the entire system.
