The objectives of this study are: 1. to develop an Automatic Adapted Drip Irrigation System for Tomato Plat Using Internet of Things, 2. to compare the performance of the Automatic Adapted Drip Irrigation System for Tomato Plat Using Internet of Things with commonly used irrigation control systems in the market, and 3. to demonstrate and transfer knowledge on the development of the Automatic Adapted Drip Irrigation System for Tomato Plat Using Internet of Things to a group of farmers. The sample group used in the research consists of 30 tomato farmers from the Agricultural Production Efficiency Learning Center (ALC) in the Muang Sri Kai Subdistrict Network, Warin Chamrap District , Ubon Ratchathani Province The population was obtained by purposive sampling . The research tools used include: A questionnaire to evaluate the performance of the Automatic Adapted Drip Irrigation System for Tomato Plat Using Internet, employing Black Box Testing methods conducted by 5 experts who assessed the system's effectiveness and A questionnaire to evaluate farmers' satisfaction with the training. Statistical analysis involved calculating the mean and standard deviation.
The research findings are:
- 1. The development of the irrigation control system using an Automatic Adapted Drip Irrigation System for Tomato Plat Using Internet of Things, controlled by the NodeMCU ESP8266 microcontroller, which manages sensors to detect temperature, humidity, water flow, and water usage, and can report environmental conditions of the greenhouse and handle error cases where no water is flowing through a developed web application, showed overall system performance at the very high level.
- 2. A comparison of the performance of the Automatic Adapted Drip Irrigation System for Tomato Plat Using Internet of Things with commonly used irrigation control systems revealed that the developed system offers additional functions: 1) a notification system via LINE to alert users when there is no water flow, 2) an automatic shutdown of the water pump if no water is flowing, 3) the ability to set the daily water rate, 4) a display of electricity usage, and 5) a report on daily and cycle water usage.
- The results of the training demonstration and knowledge transfer on the development of an Automatic Adapted Drip Irrigation System for Tomato Plat Using Internet of Things show that the farmers' overall satisfaction with the training across all aspects is at a very high level.
