Indonesia, as an agricultural country, still faces serious challenges in the farming sector, particularly pest attacks from birds and insects that significantly reduce rice productivity and may lead to crop failure. The use of traditional methods and chemical pesticides is considered ineffective and has negative impacts on health and the environment. This study aims to design a prototype of an automated pest repellent system for agriculture based on the Internet of Things (IoT) that is environmentally friendly, energy-efficient, and easy to operate by local farmers. The research method employed a prototyping approach, which includes problem identification, hardware and software design, testing, and system evaluation. The device consists of a NodeMCU ESP32 microcontroller, a PIR sensor to detect pest movement, relay, ultrasonic speaker, electric net, and solar panel as the main power source. Testing on a miniature rice field model showed that the system could detect pest movement at a distance of approximately 5 meters and automatically activate the ultrasonic speaker with a range of 50–100 meters to repel birds, and the electric net to catch insects at night. Energy consumption is primarily supplied by the solar panel, and a fully charged battery can power the system for about 3 hours without sunlight. The detection success rate reached more than 85% with consistent actuator response. This system has proven to reduce pesticide dependency, is environmentally friendly, and has the potential to increase rice farming efficiency.
