Pembuatan Alat Monitoring Kompos Organik Menggunakan Soil NPK Sensor dengan Aplikasi Blynk Berbasis Internet of Things

Abstract

Growing awareness of the importance of sustainable agriculture is driving the need for quality organic fertilizers. Organic fertilizers, such as compost, offer many benefits to soil and plants, including improving soil fertility, water retention, crop quality, and reducing dependence on chemical fertilizers. This research aims to develop an IoT-based organic compost monitoring tool with soil NPK sensor and Blynk application. This tool is designed to overcome the challenges of real-time monitoring of compost conditions and help produce high-quality compost. Tests show that it can measure soil NPK, temperature, and moisture levels with high accuracy. Sensor data is transmitted in real-time to the cloud platform and displayed on the Blynk app, allowing users to monitor compost status remotely. The results show that the IoT-based organic compost monitoring tool has the potential to improve the quality of organic fertilizer with NPK content that matches the needs of plants, optimize the organic composting process, and support more sustainable composting practices. Although there are some limitations, such as dependence on technology and network infrastructure, this tool offers an innovative solution to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the organic composting process.
