One of the problems farmers face is the inability to make complete, real-time, and accurate observations of their farmland. The system proposed in this paper helps farmers to know the condition of farmland from anywhere and anytime by using a web-based application. The main objective of this prototype is to reduce the failure of the growth process of farming commodities by knowing the conditions inside and outside the soil with a total of 14 parameters. Internet of Things (IoT) technology is used to implement the prototype, which consists of Sensor Panels, Controllers, Message Broker, and Backend Service. All obtained data, created and tested in real-time, are displayed on the application. In addition to real-time data display, the system also includes monitoring history, alerts, and site location management.
