 Abstract

Self-Sustaining Planter Pot revolves around the concept of automating all

processes and tasks, such as watering plants and protecting them from extreme
weather conditions. This saves a lot of labor and time for the owner and keeps
the plant alive and healthy. It also addresses the idea of collecting real-time data
on soil moisture and light intensity in a mobile application and adds the ability to
control the movement of plant pots manually and automatically. Evidence of
disease on the leaves of the plant can further help the proper care of the plant.
The limitations of traditional Plant pot introduce the advantages of the concept of
self-sustaining planter. The ability of the planter to sense the change in the
environment variables like light and moisture in the soil helps in reducing lots of
human effort to keep the plant healthy. The planter can also move from point A
to point B for a fixed interval of time and then come back to point A. All the
action occurring in the planter are being controlled through the microprocessor.
The movement of the pot can be both manual and automatic, and it can be
controlled through the mobile application. Communication between system and
application helps in capturing of real time data coming through the sensors and
taking required action accordingly. The disease detection on the leaf was made
possible using the dataset containing the images of various healthy and
unhealthy leaves of different plants and Roboflow was used to make annotation
on the images for processing it under yolov5. A total of 2500 images were
annotated and was classified into 38 classes.

Keywords: Automation, Blynk, ESP-32, Sensors, Yolov5.
