A Smart Home Agriculture System Based on Internet of Things

Internet of Things (IoT) has a growing application in agriculture and smart farming. Different monitoring, controlling and tracking systems have been proposed for increasing the efficiency and quality of agricultural products. While most of the existing systems focus on industrial farming, many people would like to create their own small-scale farms at home to produce organic products for their daily consumption. However, due to the lack of agricultural knowledge and infrastructures, people usually unable to produce healthy agricultural products at home. This paper proposes an IoT-based system for home agriculture to create small-scale farms in indoor locations. The proposed system uses ESP-32 devices and connected sensors to measure different quantities of the soil and air conditions to create a more suitable environment for growing the plants. Using the mobile application, the users can connect and configure the sensing devices over Bluetooth connections. The sensed data are sent to a web server over a WiFi connection. The web server stores the received data and provides real-time reports about the environment and plants. Based on the received data and the plant requirements, the webserver may send notification messages to the user's mobile phone.
