Abstract
Organic culture has been widely promoted to famers as the best solution for many kinds of fruits and vegetables. However, the serious issue of organic culture is to optimal control soil moisture. This paper presents a soil moisture sensor based on internet of things (IoT) technology. The prototype IoT based soil moisture sensor has been implemented including with four components: sensing unit, connectivity, data processing and data analysis. The results show that the proposed soil moisture sensor not only shows the real-time soil moisture data but also analyze the soil moisture regulation.
