Automatic Plant Sprinkler With Source Solar Panel

Abstract

Abstract— Plant watering is an activity that needs to be considered in plant maintenance to maintain food intake dan plant growth. Plant owners in Balingka usually water the plant manually in the morning and evening so it takes a lot of time and energy during the watering process. Farmers cannot leave the plants for a long period of time because the plants will lack water wich can inhibit plant growth. So an automatic olant sprinkler is made with RTC ( Real Time Clock ) sensor, Raindrops Sensor Module, Relay1 channel and LCD ( Liquid Cristal Display ). The principle of this tool is to set the plant watering time according to the hour that has been determined using RTC ( Real Time Clock ), which is then controlled by Arduino mega 2560 to activate the relay to the automatic plant watering pump and Raindrops sensor module as a relay breaker if at the time of watering rain and the result will be displayed on the LCD ( Liquid Crystal Display ). The benefit of this automatic plant sprinkler is to facilitate in Balingka in the procces of watering strawberry plants.
