Abstract

Traditional agriculture rely heavily on manual monitoring and irrigation, leading to water waste, uneven crop growth, and increased labor costs. This paper proposes an Internet of Things (IoT)-based smart agriculture system for optimized irrigation. The system uses an ESP32 microcontroller to collect soil moisture data from sensors. User-defined thresholds trigger automated watering using a relay-controlled mechanism. The system offers on-site monitoring through an OLED display and remote monitoring capabilities via the Blynk platform. This paper details the system design, implementation, and testing, demonstrating its power for efficient water use and improved crop yield in agricultural and gardening applications.
