IoT-Driven Automated Hydroponic System for Climate-Independent Indoor Crop Cultivation

The goal of this work is to create an automated hydroponic system that can produce popular crops indoors without relying on the outside weather. The system is designed by evaluating several hydroponic techniques to determine which ones are most suited for automation. The fundamental component of the system is a micro controller, which interfaces with sensors to regulate the environment and reduce the need for human interaction. An IoT platform is incorporated to store and show system data, enabling remote access via a graphical user interface. With little assistance from the user, the system maintains ideal growth conditions and sends out real-time notifications for problems like low water levels. The system's efficacy is verified through testing and IoT platform monitoring. This device not only makes farming easier both indoors and outdoors, but it also provides academics with useful data to better understand the dynamics of plant development. This technology makes it possible to grow summer crops in the winter because it doesn't depend on the weather.
