Agricultural cultivation technology with a hydroponic system is expected to be an alternative for people who have limited land or yards. However, manual control cannot be done at any time due to business and other work, so a controller is needed to monitor and control the temperature and water level in hydroponic plants to avoid the death of plant. The purpose of this research is to create a temperature and water level control system for hydroponic plants. The control process uses a NodeMCU esp8266 microcontroller. The process of data communication carried out by hardware and software using wireless media. The water temperature detection system uses a DS18B20 sensor, while the water level sensor uses an ultrasonic HC-SR04. The results of this study the system as a whole can perform the process of monitoring and controlling the temperature and water level in hydroponic plants automatically and displayed on the LCD and android. When the water level is less than the minimum limit of 5 cm, the filling pump will be active and it will take about 6.48 minutes to fill the reservoir from an empty state. In the temperature control system, an average error of 3.71%. In this research is obtained if water temperature is more than 29oC, the cold water pump will be active and it will take about 2 minutes to circulate the water back to 28oC. © Content from this work may be used under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 licence
