Smart Plant Monitoring System using NodeMCU

Farming is the cultivation of plants and livestock. Plant monitoring is one of the most important tasks in farming. The goal of this paper is to use IoT in the NodeMCU system platform for plant monitoring and smart gardening. The primary goal of this paper is to reduce direct interaction and provide comfort to the farmer by improving the system's overall performance. Humidity, sunlight, and soil moisture are important factors to consider when monitoring plant productivity. Plant growth and health information must be provided to the user on a continuous basis by monitoring and recording these parameters. The NodeMCU interfaces with all of the sensors used in this project. Farmers can use IoT to directly monitor and control plant information via their smart phones. By sensing and controlling the parameters of the plants without their physical presence, this smart gardening system will provide the user with convenience and comfort. The smart gardening application can be installed on any Android-enabled device. The software used is the Arduino IDE and the IoT platform. The Arduino IDE is used to compile and upload the programme to the NodeMCU, and the IoT platform is used to display temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, and soil moisture from a distance. This will assist the farmer in understanding the relationship between plant growth and mentioned plant parameters.
