Garduino - The IOT based Horticulture System

To overcome the obstacles faced by traditional horticulture methods with the aid of IOT and timely irrigation to improve growing conditions of the plants.

The problem Garduino - The IOT based Horticulture System solves

Horticulture farming, now face the problems of shortage in manual labourers, water and mineral shortages, and also decrease in the quality of their yield. Hence we bring a horticulture system entirely based on IOT. This is a project that aims at using the most compact and easily affordable technology to increase efficiency and productivity using timely irrigation. Here, we have used the Arduino Uno, Arduino IDE and ESP32 for the functioning of the pump along with the sensing. When the moisture content falls below a certain level, the user is notified and water is supplied automatically. We also provide LEDs that radiate colors which enhance plant growth( eg: Blue).

The user is able to monitor the growing conditions of the plant using the website.
The webpage is done by using HTML, CSS, Django(Python) and Javascript. Each user has to create their own account using their mail id and password, hence ensuring complete privacy and security.We have given the 'Moisture Conent' and 'Lights Active' features, that updates the user about the moisture level and the number and color of lights active.
