IoT based Smart Irrigation System using Soil Moisture Sensor and ESP8266 NodeMCU

Dear Circuit Digest team,

In this IoT based Smart Irrigation System using Soil Moisture Sensor and ESP8266 NodeMCU project

# Can you guys suggest a solution to display the status of the motor on the thing speaks? (i.e, either motor turned on / off)

# which IOT protocol we are using in the present project?? MQTT or REST!!

#What all changes we have to do on the code to make the above project an MQTT based one?

 

Awaiting your valuable reply on this team.

Thanks

Since you are manually  turning on/off the motor, the status of the motor is always known. You just have to send the status to thingpseak and update it everytime you have turned on/off the motor.

Currently the project that you have linked does not use MQTT. I dont see why you need it, but if you want to use MQTT then thingspeak also supports MQTT. Check this link

to know how to exchange data with thingspeak uisng MQTT

Dear Circuit Digest team,

Is it possible for me to have the code in python.
