Smart Indoor Gardening System

Abstract

In the world where pollution is increasing and fertilization of agriculture is decreasing, because of natural calamities, drought, and heavy rainfall. For this situation, import of agricultural products prices are increasing very costly and it has become quite impossible for people who earn very little to buy these agricultural products and are deprived of their basic needs. To make a small effort to bring a change we proposed a method which is smart indoor gardening based on IoT (Internet of Things) which is eco-friendly, it does not need any maintenance, it can be maintained automatically when it feels the needed things such as: water, temperature, air, lights etc. By using this system one can make a very less costly, good cultivating and earn a handsome profit, also the crops will be fresh and healthy. To provide electrical supply of less cost we are using solar systems, we also use Light Emitting Diode (LED) for growth of plants as an alternative light source. In the model we have some components like ultrasonic sonar sensor, Arduino uno, as a sensor module, temperature sensor, soil moisture, water pump, and android application using Graphical User Interface (GUI). In this proposed system it sends Email notification to the user automatically when critical situations arise and informs users to take necessary steps. We have made an environmental setup which can be beneficial more than outdoor gardening and in future times it will be very much efficient for the agricultural field.
