Agriculture and home gardening require regular monitoring of soil conditions to maintain healthy plant growth. Traditional watering methods depend on manual effort and often result in over-watering or under-watering, which leads to wastage of water and reduced plant productivity. With the advancement of Internet of Things (IoT) technology and automation systems, smart irrigation solutions are becoming increasingly popular for efficient plant care. The Smart Agriculture Rover: IoT Based Irrigation System for Home Gardening is designed to automate irrigation using soil moisture sensing technology. The system uses an ESP32 microcontroller connected with soil moisture sensors to continuously monitor soil conditions. When the soil moisture level drops below a predefined threshold value, the rover automatically activates the sprinkler system to irrigate plants. Once the required moisture level is achieved, watering is stopped automatically. Unlike traditional irrigation systems that remain fixed at one location, the proposed rover is mobile and capable of moving across different plant locations. This mobility allows monitoring and watering multiple plants efficiently using a single device. The rover can also be controlled remotely through a web-based interface created using ESP32 Wi-Fi hotspot functionality (SSID: ESP32_CAR). Users can monitor soil conditions and control rover movement using a browser interface. The system reduces human effort, minimizes water wastage, and improves plant health through smart monitoring and automation. It is cost-effective and suitable for home gardens, terrace gardens, kitchen gardens, and small agricultural setups.
