On extensive agricultural land, a system for monitoring the quality of land that is spread over many points and uses data communication wirelessly needs to be made. This will facilitate the initial installation and maintenance of the system. This study aims to create a pH and humidity monitoring system for agriculture’s soil with wireless sensor network technology based on internet of things (IoT). This system consists of two slave nodes and one master node. The master node and slave node use the RF433MHz radio module as a communication tool. Each slave node consists of a soil pH sensor and YL69 sensor to measure soil moisture. All data for each slave node is sent to the master node to be processed and then sent to the database using the Ethernet shield. Data contained in the database will be displayed on a web application that can be accessed anywhere. The maximum range of RF433MHz radio modules in open spaces is capable of receiving data from the transmitter at 50 meters. The monitoring system able to display pH and soil moisture values in real-time with an average error value of the soil pH sensor which is equal to 1.66% and YL69 sensor error average is 1% compared to commercial soil analyzer.
