Abstract

Effective water management in plant irrigation is essential for resource conservation and sustaining robust plant development in the age of smart technologies. This project introduces a NodeMCU microcontroller-based Internet of Things (IoT) smart plant pump control system designed to automate irrigation procedures based on real-time environmental data. A soil moisture sensor built within the system continuously checks the soil’s moisture content. The NodeMCU activates the water pump to irrigate the plants until the required moisture level is restored when the moisture level drops below a predetermined threshold.. Through a web interface or mobile app, the system’s Internet of Things functionality enables remote monitoring and control. Users can manually operate the pump if necessary and get real-time data on the soil moisture levels. By ensuring that plants receive the right amount of water, this smart irrigation system not only minimizes water waste but also encourages sustainable gardening techniques..Key features of the system include automatic irrigation based on soil moisture levels, remote monitoring and control via IoT, and low-cost, energy- efficient operation using the NodeMCU platform. This project demonstrates the integration of IoT in agriculture, offering a scalable solution for both small-scale home gardens and larger agricultural setups With features like automatic irrigation, IoT connecti vi ty, and energy efficiency, this low-cost system is ideal for both home gardens and large-scale agriculture, demonstrating the impact of smart technology in modern farming.
