Intelligent Garden using IoT

Problem Statement

We are making an IoT Smart Plant Monitoring System. It will display soil moisture, temperature, humidity, and will also give us an option to control the water flow on our smartphone - which can be operated from anywhere in the world.

For future planning, we can make an alert system, so if the soil has less moisture it will pop up an alert message on our smartphone to water our plants.

Why this project?

Most people around the world are getting more and more interested in living a long and healthy life nowadays. And many studies have proven that growing house plants, as long as being a trend, improves health. The truth is, we are so busy with work, and even when we get home, that we do not have enough time to properly water our plants when they need it.

Implementation

IMPLEMENTATION

We can install our IoT device in our garden, so that everytime we are notified about the less moisture in our soil, we can simply click on the button "ON" to supply water, from any place in the world. For user interface, we use application (Blynk) to make it more user-friendly and easy to use.
