Abstract :
Rice is the main crop for most Indonesian people. Irrigated rice fields are
able to produce national rice large enough up to 85% irrigation system is needed
in order to maximize yields. A minimum internet network in the paddy field area is
needed in internet access so that communication is needed that can send
information wirelessly without having to use the internet network. This study
discusses a system that can monitor irrigation on a simple module using the
nRF24L01 module, thus making two circuits made as transmitters and receivers.
The results of testing the soil measuring sensor can protect the moisture in the soil
in dry conditions 0% humidity conditions 60% and 71% wet conditions, water
sensors can protect water passing in irrigation with an empty status, sufficient, and
a lot. Rotating servo motors to open doors complete humidity detected at less than
60% and will close approval humidity which has reached 71%. The nRF24L01
module is capable of sending messages as far as 1.1 km with an average throughput
of 962.98KBps.
