Introduction: The problem of bird pest attacks is still a big challenge in rice cultivation in Indonesia because it can significantly reduce crop yields. This condition shows the need for a pest control system that can work automatically and sustainably.
Objective: This study aims to design and test an Internet of Things (IoT)-based bird pest detection and control system that can be operated independently in rice field areas.
Method: The development method is carried out through a prototyping approach, which integrates ESP32-CAM modules, solar panels, solar charge controllers, batteries, step-down converters, gearbox motors, sirens, and automatic notifications. The system was tested on 6 × 5-meter land with a variety of detection distances ranging from 10 cm to 140 cm to determine the detection and response performance of the device.
Results: The test results showed that the system was able to identify the presence of 1–10 birds with an average accuracy of 92%. When an object is detected, the driving motor and siren activate automatically as a form of expulsion. In addition, the system also sends real-time detection images and notifications through the LINE app. Stable performance as well as expulsion effectiveness exceeding 85% indicate that this device can work consistently in the field environment.
Conclusion: Overall, the developed system has the potential to be an energy-efficient, easy-to-operate, and effective smart farming solution in helping farmers reduce losses due to bird pests in rice fields.
