Abstract
This study investigates the application of Internet of Things (IoT) technology in agriculture, focusing on the cultivation of patchouli, a medicinal plant known for its therapeutic properties. The research highlights the specific growth requirements and medicinal benefits of patchouli, and proposes a monitoring system based on ZigBee technology. The system's hardware design incorporates cc2530 and esp8266 chips for wireless data transmission, while communication between the OneNET cloud server and the MySQL database is managed through MQTT, TCP/IP, and HTTP protocols. This integration showcases the potential of IoT to significantly enhance agricultural efficiency by providing real-time data collection and analysis, leading to informed decision-making and improved crop yields. The study underscores the transformative impact of IoT on agricultural practices, highlighting its role in fostering sustainable and efficient farming methods.
