Currently, the traditional agriculture is being transformed into smart agriculture using the Internet of Things (IoT) technology. An agriculture service platform is being developed to help with environmental monitoring and to improve agricultural management. Various climate condition parameters are vital to be monitored for agriculture for ensuring optimal growth conditions. The crop production regulation, and climate change has negative impact on agriculture and food production due to excess rainfall, temperature changes, and other associated environmental variations. Different type of plants has its own need of fertilization and water where poor management of water and fertilization will lead to unhealthy crops and shorten their lifespan. The goal of this study is to design and develop a plant management system based on sensors and microcontroller. The input of the system includes pH, temperature, and soil moisture alongside real-time clock module. The system uses LoRa for data transmission that will allow the data to be transmitted up to 1 km distance. The system will optimize the plant watering leading to more efficient water usage. Moreover, this system will have a Graphical User Interface (GUI) that will allow user to provide plant watering schedule for the user. This system has been successfully tested based on several experiments. This system can be used for both indoor and outdoor plants
