Abstract: Indonesia is a tropical country that has an abundance of decorative plants; the orchid is one of them. Orchids are commonly grown in Indonesia due to their charming color. A special treatment is required to grow an orchid properly. Among them are high air humidity, low air temperature, and a particular amount of sunlight. If these parameters aren't fulfilled, the orchid's growth may be interrupted and even wilt. To solve this issue, a system that monitors the air temperature, air humidity, light intensity, and soil moisture and controls the air temperature and humidity of the greenhouse is needed. And to make the monitoring and controlling process easier, Android and web-based applications have been made. Both applications are tested using black-box testing to ensure that they are easy to use. A performant and quick application can also impact the usability of an application. To know whether the produced applications fit those definitions, a performance test and control delay measurement were conducted. For the latter, the measurement process was conducted in the Polytechnic State of Semarang, representing a place with fast and stable network speed, and the orchid greenhouse in Sumowono, Semarang regency, as the opposite and onsite location. From the black-box testing results, both applications run as designed. The average performance of the Android application is fairly light, while the web application has a decently long loading time of 2680 ms on one of the pages. For the controlling delay measurement, the average delay in the Polytechnic State of Semarang and the orchid greenhouse in Sumowono, Semarang regency, was 343 ms and 6641 ms, respectively According to the ETSI standard, the former delay is considered fair while the latter is bad.
