Sistem Penyiraman Otomatis Tanaman Semusim Berbasis Jaringan Saraf Tiruan Multilayer Perceptron

In general, farmers water plants when the conditions are met, such as dry soil, no rain, and cold temperatures. One of the efficient ways to control it is to use an artificial neural network-based automatic plant watering system. The purpose of this study was to determine the success of artificial neural networks as decision-makers to water plants automatically. The stages of designing an automatic watering system based on an artificial neural network were to build software including artificial neural network modeling and Arduino microcontroller programming, automatically watering tools, evaluating tool performance, and testing tools in real-time. The test results show that the artificial neural network-based automatic plant watering system can water plants according to the given input pattern. The artificial neural network structure obtained is three neurons in the input layer, eight neurons in the hidden layer, and one neuron in the output layer. The artificial neural network-based automatic plant watering system succeeded in automatically watering two areas of land that the success rate is a 100%.Keyword— Automatic Watering, Microcontroller, ANN, Annual Crops.
