Abstract

This research aims to develop a smart greenhouse control system via smartphone using Internet of Things (IoT) technology for vegetable cultivation, evaluate system performance, and study user satisfaction. The system consists of sensors for measuring air and soil temperature and humidity, water level sensors, and automated control devices including ventilation fans and irrigation systems, using NodeMCU ESP8266 as the central processing unit and developing a web application for smartphone control. System development followed the SDLC methodology covering 7 phases from problem identification, system analysis and design, development and testing, to implementation and maintenance. The study results showed that the system can effectively control the greenhouse environment both automatically and manually via smartphone, helping to increase water and energy resource efficiency, reduce labor costs, and support continuous vegetable cultivation. Performance evaluation by 3 experts found that the system performed at a good level (mean score 4.22), particularly in sensor reading accuracy and equipment control precision. User satisfaction assessment from 15 users showed a good level (mean score 4.14), with users recognizing that the system facilitates convenient vegetable farm management. This research demonstrates the potential of Internet of Things technology in improving agricultural production processes and serves as a guideline for future smart agriculture system development.
