This project will help farmers stay connected with their farm from anywhere. It can help to observe the temperature, humidity, and potential of hydrogen (pH) in the land. Most farmers will have difficulty keeping watch on the farm when traveling far away for work. The constant hot weather in Malaysia supports this. So, this project aims to design and fabricate an automatic plant watering system that helps farmers keep the farm in check at any place and time. The project will use a few sensors such as a temperature, pH, and soil humidity sensor to get the information needed and send the information to the farmers' phones through Arduino Internet of Things (IoT) Cloud. When the information has been received, farmers can activate the water sprinkler system with just a button from the phone to water the plants. The results from the project show that an automatic plant watering system has been successfully fabricated to water plants when the soil is dry. Besides, the project also successfully activates the automatic irrigation system when the soil humidity requirements are met. Finally, it is hoped that this project will help the farmer to be more efficient in keeping the farm in check and increase the quality of the product produced.
