SMART GARDENING AUTOMATION USING IOT WITH

POWER SAVER USING SOLAR ENERGY

ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
In today’s digital world, a person expects Automatization which makes the task easy,
comfortable, fast and efficient. The idea is to advance our traditional system to a Smart
Automated System for supplying water in home gardening, farms fields, etc.

EXISTING SYSTEM:
Gardening is a pleasant activity which expects care to keep a plant spreading well. It is
not possible to keep under surveillance whole day. To overcome this problem, we develop a
smart system using the concept of IoT Automation.

PROPOSED SYSTEM:
In this system, we use soil wetness detector, temperature detector and humidity detector
that are mounted at the root space of the plants. The values recognize by the system are conveyed
to the microcontroller. The target is to fetch data and sync those values with internet using Wi-Fi
Module. It notifies the user as the water level goes down below the set point. Simultaneously, it
enables the DC Water Motor. If the lighting is lower than threshold of the LDR, the DC LED
Lights which are connected to the microcontroller are enabled. All this setup is powered by a
rechargeable battery which will be charged from the energy of the Solar Panels.

ADVANTAGES:
1. Water Conservation
2. Remote Monitoring
3. Accurate Farm and Field Evaluation

DISADVANTAGES:

1. Faulty sensors or data processing engines can cause faulty decisions which may lead to
over use of water, fertilizers and other wastage of resources.
2. The current IoT systems are not scalable or reliable and the initial costs are high which
the farmers cannot afford.
