In the era of globalization, technology increases efficiency in various human activities, including plant cultivation. Chili plants require special care, especially in meeting water needs according to ideal soil moisture, which is 30% -50% for chili. Conventional monitoring methods are inefficient because they require a lot of time and energy. A new breakthrough is needed to continuously monitor temperature, air humidity, and soil moisture. The designed tool will be placed in Cipadung Village to monitor soil moisture in chili plants, which require soil moisture that is not too high. This tool facilitates monitoring through the application, allowing automatic and manual watering. Soil moisture stability is also important for tomatoes, so watering can be regulated through the application display. This tool is useful for monitoring soil moisture levels effectively, supporting plant care with stable soil moisture needs, and facilitating the watering process through the application.
