IOT-BASED SMART GARDENING SYSTEM USING ARDUINO UNO

Environmental awareness is one of the most important factors for environmental sustainability. This paper describes a Smart gardening system using an IoT platform. The main purpose of this automation is to make home gardening more convenient by eliminating manual work. The Soil Moisture Sensor has many applications in agricultural research, everyday gardening, and humidity and temperature sensors. By tracking the amount of water in your soil, you can ensure your valuable crops stay hydrated and know how they’re doing before planting. Our project uses a soil moisture meter and a humidity and temperature sensor using the ESP8266 to alert the user when plants need to be watered. Next, we built an automatic irrigation system using the IoT board. Our system also includes an OLED display and uses an IoT cloud, so you can monitor and control the system over the internet. PIR sensors are built into the system to help prevent pests from getting closer to your plants or destroy plants. Additionally, after much research, our project includes a purple LED light to stimulate plant growth.
