IoT-based Smart Gardening System

Abstract

Through this project, an IoT based smart garden system has been built which allows the user to monitor various parameters related to the plant including moisture-level, temperature, humidity and light condition. The soil moisture can be regulated with the help of the watering system which can be controlled by the user or operated on automatic mode. The automatic watering system that is provided besides manual mode regulated soil moisture without the need of human intervention. Fertilizer dispenser has been incorporated in the system. This ensures that the plant will get all the required nutrients. The system is Wi-Fi-based and it is supported by a smartphone application and a web dashboard. This makes the monitoring and controlling functions easy and convenient. Since the data is transferred to online database via internet, the data can be retrieved from any location. Thus, there is no limitation of range and it is especially useful if the user is travelling.
