Abstract

This study aims to develop an IoT-based prototype system for monitoring soil moisture and controlling irrigation in chili plants using the Blynk platform. The research employs a Research and Development (R&D) approach with a prototypedevelopment model. The system integrates a capacitive soil moisture sensor (Soil Moisture Sensor Capacitive V1.2) to measure soil moisture levels and automate irrigation decisions. The system's effectiveness was evaluated through 56 trials, achieving a 98.15% success rate, indicating high reliability in providing real-time soil moisture data. The usability assessment showed that all respondents rated the system positively, with functionality reaching 100% feasibility and usability rated at 86.3%, categorized as very good. However, further analysis is needed to validate the questionnaire used in usability testing and assess whether training is required for farmers to operate the system efficiently. In terms of reliability, the system recorded a 5% sensor accuracy deviation, highlighting the need for additional calibration and comparative testing with alternative sensors. Overall, this system has the potential to enhance agricultural productivity and optimize water usage, reducing dependence on manual irrigation. Future research should focus on improving system connectivity, refining sensor accuracy, and expanding the system's application to various crops and environmental conditions to promote sustainable and technology-driven farming practices.

Abstract

This study aimed to design and develop a prototype of an Arduino-based automatic ablution faucet to minimize water consumption and promote sustainable resource use in worship facilities. This study employed an engineering research approach using a prototyping method that included system analysis, hardware and software design, prototype construction, and performance evaluation. The developed system integrates a proximity sensor to automatically control the opening and closing of the faucet, a water flow sensor to measure water usage, and an LCD display to present real-time consumption data. Functional and usability evaluations were conducted according to the ISO 25010 standard through direct testing and user questionnaires involving 30 mosque congregants. The results indicated that the prototype effectively reduced water usage by an average of 44.03% compared to manual faucets, achieved a 100% functionality score from expert assessments, and received a usability rating of 87.8%, classified as “very effective.” These findings demonstrate that the system performs accurately, efficiently, and conveniently for small-scale mosques. The novelty of this research lies in combining the ISO 25010-based quality evaluation with a real-time monitoring system to ensure measurable performance and reliability. This innovation contributes to the advancement of intelligent water-saving technologies and supports environmental conservation through the integration of automation, sustainability, and user-centered design in the context of Islamic practices.
