Abstract
Aloe Barbadensis Miller is a plant that requires a long watering process until the soil moisture is completely dry. This plant can store water for a long time. But if the soil moisture is too low, then these plants will wither quickly. For this reason, the process of watering plants must follow the water requirements of Aloe Barbadensis Miller. With today's technology, it can be easier to do automatic monitoring, such as with a plant sprinkler. With this technology, Aloe Barbadensis Miller plants will be watered precisely when the soil moisture is lacking. The owners of the Aloe Barbadensis Miller plant don't have to worry about the plants wilting due to drought. They can save water because the watering process already uses technology. The system used in the technology uses a soil moisture sensor to determine the water content contained in the soil. The development of the internet has changed the daily lives of most people around the world. Internet of Things (IoT) technology allows objects to connect and communicate with each other. For automatic watering of plants, sensor devices and water pumps are connected to the IoT and monitored via the Internet. This paper will discuss the design of an automatic watering system for Aloe Barbadensis Miller. The author will also show the results of measuring soil moisture in plants using this system.
