Design of Smart Garden Watering and Lighting Using Arduino

Abstract

A developing technology called a "smart garden" employs analytics, sensors, and automation to make gardening simpler and more productive. Plant cultivation is a laborious process, so to produce crops healthily, farmers must routinely visit the farming area to assess the many environmental parameters, including humidity, temperature, soil moisture, and light intensity. Through the interlinking of these microclimatic factors, all parameters can be monitored automatically without human assistance using automatic garden monitoring and control. In this study, we employ an Arduino microcontroller to activate a light and a motor for pumping water, respectively, and monitor and control humidity, soil moisture, and temperature using sensors. With the use of the Android app, information will be supplied to the monitoring screen in the event of any abnormal circumstances, and the appropriate solution will be offered. The control and monitoring system for smart gardens is moving toward an intelligent, remotely accessible, real-time, and fully automatic system. A simple way to provide the perfect humidity, temperature, and moisture conditions for plant growth has evolved. As a result, this research tried to understand the idea, trends, and perception of smart gardens, a relatively new idea.
