Design of a Low-Cost Smart Plant Watering System for Automated Plant Monitoring and Watering

In an age dominated by technology, manual tasks are becoming increasingly rare. However, gardening remains a beloved pastime for many, often requiring significant manual effort. The project aims to revolutionize gardening with the introduction of a smart plant watering system that minimizes manual labor and offers users unprecedented convenience. The system boasts a range of automated functionalities that can be scheduled for operation without human intervention or controlled remotely. Sensors, crucial in IoT systems, relay key information about environmental conditions necessary for plant health, such as light level, soil moisture, humidity, and temperature. The Particle Photon 2 microcontroller serves as the core processor, managing system operations and ensuring effective monitoring and control of the plant watering process. The result is an automated smart plant watering and monitoring system designed for small house plants, set to transform indoor gardening practices through IoT-enabled automation and monitoring. The goal of the project is to create a user-friendly system that seamlessly integrates automation, enhancing both efficiency and enjoyment for gardening enthusiasts.
