Automatic Plant Watering System

Abstract

Monitoring and caring for plants can be a challenging and time-consuming process due to traditional methods lacking automation, which results in inefficient water usage and inconsistent care routines, ultimately affecting plant growth and health. Manual watering often leads to over or under-watering, exacerbating these issues and making plant care labour- intensive and less effective. The project proposes a automatic plant watering system utilizing IoT technology, including sensors and automated watering mechanisms, to provide a user-friendly platform for plant care. This system collects real-time data on soil moisture, temperature, and humidity, and automates watering through a water pump controlled by a relay. By ensuring optimal water usage and consistent care, this solution aims to promote healthier plant growth and simplify plant management for individuals. Additionally, the system can be integrated with mobile applications to offer remote monitoring and control, providing users with real-time notifications and insights into their plant’s needs. This innovative approach not only enhances the efficiency of plant care but also makes it more accessible to a broader audience, including those with limited gardening experience.
