IoT based smart garden monitoring system using NodeMCU microcontroller

Abstract

Technology brings a remarkable advancement in every field of life, whether its industry or agriculture. Our lives are essentially dependent on agricultural development. Researchers are working to integrate modern technologies in agriculture to develop new practices for the enhancement of healthy agriculture and production. Internet of things is a domain of computer science that provides mechanisms and techniques to interconnect a wide range of digital devices to automate the real-life systems. In big cities, peoples facing problems in their homegrown gardens regarding the maintenance and availability of proper gardeners. This research paper has proposed an IoT based approach for smart garden monitoring using NodeMCU microcontroller that helps the users in identifying current parameters of temperature, moisture, and humidity of their homegrown plants and gardens. A prototype has been implemented to show the real illustration of the proposed approach. An android mobile application has been developed to display the real-time profiles of environmental factors like temperature, moisture, and humidity. With the help of this system, users will be able to treat their gardens in a better way in terms of plant health and growth. This research work replaces the need for gardeners and issues faced during the maintenance of gardens in big cities. The purpose of this research is to introduce and prosper the IoT innovation towards smart cities in our society.
