Perkembangan teknologi Internet of Things (IoT) mendorong penerapan smart farming yang memungkinkan pemantauan kondisi tanaman secara real-time. Namun, pengembangan sistem monitoring berbasis IoT masih lebih berfokus pada aspek teknis dibandingkan dengan aspek user interface (UI) dan user experience (UX). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk merancang UI/UX aplikasi monitoring tanaman melon berbasis IoT menggunakan metode design thinking dengan pendekatan behavioral design. Proses perancangan dilakukan melalui tahapan empathize, define, ideate, prototype, dan test, kemudian dievaluasi menggunakan Maze usability testing dan System Usability Scale (SUS) dalam dua iterasi. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa purwarupa mengalami peningkatan usability, ditandai dengan peningkatan success rate dari 91,50% menjadi 97,91%, penurunan misclick rate dari 59,34% menjadi 29,05%, penurunan average duration dari 89,76 detik menjadi 30,88 detik, penurunan dropoff rate dari 8,51% menjadi 2,08%, serta peningkatan skor SUS dari 79,17 (good) menjadi 84,04 (excellent). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa purwarupa yang dihasilkan memiliki tingkat usability yang baik dan mampu mendukung kemudahan pengguna dalam melakukan monitoring tanaman melon berbasis IoT.

The development of the Internet of Things (IoT) has accelerated the adoption of smart farming, enabling real-time monitoring of crop conditions. However, the development of IoT-based monitoring systems has primarily focused on technical aspects rather than user interface (UI) and user experience (UX), which play a crucial role in ensuring application usability. This study aims to design the UI/UX for an IoT-based melon-monitoring application using design thinking and behavioral design approaches. The design process followed the empathize, define, ideate, prototype, and test stages and was evaluated through two iterations using Maze usability testing and the System Usability Scale (SUS). The evaluation results showed an improvement in the prototype's usability, indicated by an increase in the success rate from 91.50% to 97,91%, a decrease in the misclick rate from 59.34% to 29,05%, a reduction in the average duration from 89.76 seconds to 30,88 seconds, a decrease in the dropoff rate from 8.51% to 2,08%, and an improvement in the SUS score from 79.17 (good) to 84,04 (excellent). These findings indicate that the final prototype achieved a higher level of usability and effectively supports users in monitoring IoT-based melon cultivation.
