Application of IoT in Plant watering system
Punitharaja · Journal of Emerging Technologies and Innovative Research · 2019
One element of an agricultural operation is the method for watering the plants. The new watering system, though, still follows the concept of operating in stand-alone. From the watering device work cycle separately at this time still leaves the question that no knowledge is provided to farmers every watering. Today, IT has a good influence on culture at large. Computer technology, which is associated with technological advancement, has introduced many innovations to managed computers, such as microcontroller technology, which allows embedded devices technology to provide consumers with functionality in different places. The knowledge regarding watering plants is really necessary to learn whether or not the device functioned properly. Therefore, an automated watering device is required which can provide watering details remotely through the internet utilizing the Internet of Things (IoTs) technology The system was designed using microcontroller (Arduino Uno), a sensor for detecting soil moisture, Ethernet shield and a water pump. This architecture culminated in a plant irrigation information device that can deliver irrigation details on the network in real time.
