This research explores automatic plant sprinklers utilizing fuzzy logic with the fuzzy Sugeno method to overcome optimal watering schedules. Developed with ESP8266 microcontroller hardware and Arduino IDE software, the WSN prototype focuses on spinach plants. Watering in the nursery was done twice a day for seedling growth, then reduced to once a day. Soil moisture levels were assessed using a soil analyzer, as well as temperature variations with the HTC-1 device. Python facilitates data analysis, generating fuzzy inference graphs on temperature sensors (10-40°C) and soil moisture values (1-1024 RH). This innovative approach, which integrates fuzzy logic and advanced hardware, offers a promising solution for effective plant care.
