Chili cultivation requires timely irrigation to maintain soil moisture, yet manual watering is inefficient and difficult to supervise remotely. This paper proposes an IoT-based irrigation system integrating a Telegram bot and a web dashboard for real-time monitoring and control. A soil-moisture sensor provides input to an ESP32 microcontroller, which drives a relay-operated pump using a threshold rule (ON when moisture <30%) and supports manual override via Telegram commands. Sensor readings are logged to Firebase and visualized on a Flask-based dashboard, which features moisture trend graphs. Telegram delivers notifications and supports command-based interaction. Experiments demonstrate an average accuracy of 98,57% and precision of 99,93% compared to a reference meter. End-to-end tests confirm a 0% delivery error, a Telegram notification latency of 1,0–1,8 seconds, and a pump response time of 5,3–5,9 seconds, demonstrating effective automation with practical remote supervision.
