IoT-Based Smart Gardening System Using the Cloud

Abstract

Gardening is a nice activity. It is not possible to monitor and tend to a garden 24 hours a day, so we need a smart gardening system that can monitor and tend to the garden as we want it. In today's busy world, we forget to nourish and water plants that make our home clean and soothing. It would be really helpful if we get a notification on our phones about our plant health and needs. Taking account of this, the authors came up with the idea of building a smart garden with an IoT plant monitoring system. After the data is processed and verified, a notification is sent about the plant's health. An automated gardening system is designed to enable us to manage gardening, including monitoring moisture, temperature, and humidity. This chapter is on an IoT-based smart garden monitoring system which senses the requirement of the plant and provides it with water as the soil loses its moisture. Thing-speak and Blynk application are used to view sensor data from remote locations.
