Most of the farmers use large portions of farming land, and it becomes very difficult to reach and track each corner of the large land. Sometimes there is a possibility of uneven water sprinkles. This results in the bad quality crops, which further leads to financial losses. In this scenario, the Smart Irrigation System using the Latest IoT technology is helpful and leads to…

Whenever we go out of town for few days, we always used to worry about our plants as they need water on regular basis. So here we are making Automatic Plant Irrigation System using Arduino, which automatically provides water to your plants and keep you updated by sending message to your cell phone.

In This Plant Watering System, Soil Moisture…
