The plant maintenance system includes watering, fertilizing, and applying pesticides, whereas the system is able to determine the output according to the input parameters that have been prepared. A system created in this study is a wireless sensor network-based low-cost and efficient energy sensors that can assist farmers in managing and monitoring chili plants from planting seeds until they are ready to harvest. The tool uses spray-type sprinkler water to control output more efficiently. The system to be built is expected to provide accurate watering orders according to plant needs, where input parameters are obtained from a capacitive soil moisture sensor, temperature sensor, humidity sensor, and GPS to determine the precise location and OLED screens to display real-time information. The system aims to make plants grow healthy and produce quality vegetables. The WSN board used as a microcontroller is an ESP8266. The board has the ability to transmit data in real-time. This study involved collecting data from several sensors to enable farmers to monitor chili gardens' status effectively.
