Smart Plant Monitoring System Using Blynk IoT

Abstract

The Smart Plant Monitoring System is an IoT-based solution designed to enhance plant care through the integration of environmental sensors, automation, and wireless connectivity. Utilizing the ESP8266 NodeMCU microcontroller, the system collects real-time data from soil moisture, temperature, humidity, and motion sensors. This data is transmitted to the Blynk IoT cloud platform, allowing users to monitor and control the system remotely through a mobile or web interface. By automating the watering process based on live soil moisture readings, the system ensures efficient water usage, prevents overwatering or underwatering, and promotes healthier plant growth. Additionally, the inclusion of motion detection adds a security layer, alerting users to unauthorized movements around the monitored area. Designed to reduce manual effort, support sustainable water management, and improve plant health, this system is ideal for home gardens, smart agriculture, and greenhouse environments. It exemplifies how the convergence of IoT and automation can lead to intelligent, eco-friendly plant care solutions..
