DEVELOPING A SMART PLANT POT AS PROTOTYPE SOIL MONITORING SYSTEM USING IOT TECHNOLOGIES









Abstract

Plants are one of the oldest living creatures to exist on this planet and even today we can see or feel their abundant presence in the world around us. But for plants to survive and facilitate the needs of human beings it must have an optimal moisture level, which can be defined as volumetric water content of the soil. If the moisture level falls below a critical point then the plant dies. Hence, as an objective of the project we have designed a prototype for a soil monitoring system which would enable the user to keep track of its moisture status and also notify the user with a text message when its moisture level reaches below a critical point. The objective of designing the prototype for soil monitoring system has been achieved with the help of one of the major research areas of the word today, the “Internet of Things”.
