Abstract
Hydroponics is a method or way to grow plants by using water as a medium and without using soil. Hydroponics is suitable wherever applied with limited water supply. The problem that occurs is that we cannot go long because we have to monitor the body of nutrients so that the water in the body of nutrition does not run out. This research is to facilitate the owner of hydroponics in terms of monitoring and controlling nutritional water using the Wemos D1 Mini Board as a microcontroller. The HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor functions to monitor the water level in the nutrient bath, and a relay to turn on and turn off the AC and DC pumps in accordance with predetermined quantities. Using the concept of IoT (internet of things) in order to communicate with Wemos D1 Mini devices remotely by using a smartphone and Telegram as a communication medium. The results of this study are prototypes or models for automatically monitoring and replenishing nutrient water.
