What is it about?
Internet of Things (IoT) technology has brought a revolution in agriculture. With the implementation of IoT, intelligent monitoring of agriculture becomes feasible. Such as monitoring soil parameters. Soil is a critical part of agriculture that provides nutrients for plant growth. Five soil parameters are measured: pH, moisture, temperature-humidity, and light. This monitoring system consists of two subsystems: the IoT-based multiple sensors data acquisition and the monitor with the thinger platform. The multisensory data acquisition subsystem consists of the Arduino uno r3 microcontroller as a parent board connected to multiple sensors, including the DIY more soil pH sensor, soil moisture capacitive, temperature DHT22, and light LDR + 5K1 resistor. And connected as a Wi-Fi network to serial communication microcontroller Nodemcu v3 Esp 8266 for data transfer. The results of multiple sensors' data acquisition are uploaded to the Thinger platform page and displayed as a time series chart for monitoring purposes. Based on experimental data from the monitoring system, it can be determined that the data generated by the system are precise. So, the soil parameter monitoring system operating on the IoT multiple sensors and Thinger platform has produced the desired outcomes. Future research requires the development of a graphical interface that offers the functionality of a graphic model that could be integrated with IoT, cloud, and big data technologies. As a result of the system's integration, users will find it easier to use and operate.

Why is it important?
IoT technology has been demonstrated to collect monitoring data while consuming minimal energy. More support Platform Thinger is an open-source Internet of Things platform for data exposure and display. Integration of the IoT and the Thinger platform enables continuous and real-time monitoring of data of soil parameters.
