<![CDATA[An ideal soil moisture level between 60% and 80% is crucial for the optimal growth of curly chili plants. However, manual watering methods by farmers are often inefficient and fail to maintain consistent soil moisture. This issue forms the basis of the current research, which aims to develop an automated Internet of Things (IoT)-based watering system for curly chili plants, integrated with a monitoring website. The research method involves using an ESP32 microcontroller connected to a soil moisture sensor and a DHT22 temperature sensor. The data collected by the sensors is sent in real-time to the Firebase Realtime Database as a cloud platform and then visually displayed on a monitoring website. System testing confirmed that the setup successfully monitored soil conditions and air temperature while also controlling a DC mini water pump via a relay for automated watering based on the received data. In conclusion, the implementation of this IoT technology is expected to assist farmers in Kadokan Village in conserving water usage, improving time efficiency, and enhancing the quality and quantity of curly chili production.]]>
