Abstract

The Smart Urban Farming Pods Project integrates aeroponic vertical farming with automation of IoT controls to enable efficient, floorless cultivation in urban rooms. Used the ESP32 W-room 32 Microcontroller to collect real time data from moisture, temperature, light and raindrop sensors, store them in Firebase and process them through node.js and Express.js backends. React native apps allow users to monitor sensor data and automatically analyze and control trends. With cloud services that ensure remote access, the system optimizes resource use, improves urban agriculture efficiency, and promotes the sustainability of modern cities.
