Realizing IoT-Based Irrigation for Automatic Ficus carica Gardening in Urban Settings
Ficus carica L. (fig tree) has been widely grown worldwide for its economic value or as an ornamental plant due to its desirable taste and easiness of cultivation in both tropical and subtropical climates. On the other hand, container gardening is one of simple methods by growing fig trees in a pottery or a left-over container. However, regular maintenance for urban settings is an ineffective practice, increasing the risk of dehydration, rusting, or death of the trees. Thus, the study aim was to create an IoT-based system to automatically manage container gardening of fig trees in urban areas. The system was developed using open-source software and cost-effective devices, that were supported by a sustainable energy supply from the solar panel. Soil humidity and air temperature sensors were connected to the control circuit and were accompanied by an easy-to-use mobile application through a re-mote server. The mobile application enables users to receive important data from the IoT device.
