IoT-Based Automated Garden Irrigation and Monitoring System Using Advanced Technology

Abstract

With the successful use of the Internet of Things (IoT) in the field of agriculture, particularly in small gardening, all elements of farming can be automated, making the process more efficient and productive. This project sought to create a highly dependable and practical IoT–based Automated Garden Irrigation and Monitoring system. This project also aims to provide an application for the systems to monitor the environment, soil, and garden plants properly. This project utilized eleven hardware components, including an ESP8266 Wi-Fi module, an ESP8266 Expansion Base Board, an Arduino Uno, a temperature and humidity sensor, a soil moisture sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, a servo motor, a relay, jumper wires, and a breadboard. The project utilizes ESP8266 and Arduino Uno as the sensors' central processing units. The application allowed users to monitor the environment's temperature, humidity, and soil moisture. The software also enables users to control the project's irrigation system and monitor the water pump's operation. The project and application were linked to a Google Firebase real-time database to receive and deliver data from the components to the application. Thus, the finding was revealed to be highly reliable, practical, and relevant for modern gardening.
