Automatic IoT Based Plant Monitoring and Watering System using Raspberry Pi

Abstract

The main objective of this proposed work is to develop an Embedded System for plant monitoring and watering system using Internet of Things, Raspberry Pi as Processor, and sensors for sensing environmental conditions. In this work, IoT concept is introduced to connect devices through Internet and facilitate information access by the users. The system can obtain accurate perception of Environmental information in agriculture field and then transmit the same to users. The system monitors different parameters like Temperature, Humidity, Soil Moisture and Intensity of light. IR sensor is fixed to check any external object entry into the field, in case of intruder detection buzzer will turn on for few seconds. The Motor fixed in the field operates both manually and automatically depending upon Moisture sensor results in soil. Motor automatically switches between on and off stage of pumping action. Results are observed either in web app and monitor.
