IOT smart farming system
Farming is a big deal hear in our country since many families depend of farm produce to earn a living and a sustainable income. The idea behind the whole concept is to create a solution that will be able to service both small scale farmers and large scale farmers, who will this system help? Water being such a huge resource and neccesity in the farming process, we hope to aaid in monitoring and cutting out on extra cost incurred when water get wasted. A system that will automated the water supply and also checks the conditions like temperature, light exposure and soil moisture levels to enable the farmer to optimise on the resources available. The goal is to help the farmers be aware of the conditions in which their plants are growing and give them the feedback in the comfort of their gadgets. The sytem should be able to analyse data and provide necessary feedback to the farmer. With the integration of a wifi module the data collected form the farm will be send to the application.
Idea
To demonstrate the idea I will be automating the watering sytem and monitoring the water usage that the plant will be using as well as the temperature. To ensure the autonomous of the sytem the watering supply will be automatically be opening and closing depending on the soil moisture levels of the soil.
