Description
Summary:In the age of technology, automation has permeated our lives, and the demand for remote control systems continues to grow. This study introduces an IoT-powered Automatic Plant Watering System, driven by the NodeMCU ESP8266 microcontroller and a soil moisture sensor. Users can monitor soil moisture levels through a mobile application, remotely activating the watering process. This system addresses the challenges of manual plant care and the need for efficient solutions, especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. The project aims to deliver cost-effective and accessible intelligent farming tools, promoting sustainability and water conservation aligned with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals 2 (SDG-2). By offering precise soil moisture control, customization, and remote capabilities, this innovation empowers users to maintain healthy crops, fostering a recent trend in plant care. The research discusses system design, implementation, and implications, aligning with the demands of modern agriculture. © 2023 IEEE.
