Abstract

In daily operations related to agriculture or gardening watering is the most important practice and the most labor intensive task. It doesn't matter what the weather is, whether it's too hot and dry or too cloudy and wet. Also, you want to be able to control the amount of water that reaches your plants. Modern watering systems can be used effectively to water plants when they need it. But this manual watering process requires two important aspects to consider: when and how much to water. To replace manual activities and simplify the work of gardeners, we have created the Indoor Gardening Irrigation System. With the indoor gardening irrigation system or agricultural fields, you will help all plants reach their full potential and save water. For the implementation of the Indoor Gardening Irrigation System, we have used a combination pipes. In this paper we have used Esp 8266 Node Mcu as microcontroller. It is programmed to detect the plant's moisture level at all times, if the moisture content is less than the specified range it will be predetermined according to the specific plant's water needs then the desired amount of water is supplied until it reaches the range. Generally, trees should be watered at least twice a day, morning and evening. We also use the DHT11 sensor to measure temperature and humidity values. The system is designed in such a way that it reports its current data through a mobile application like the Telegram platform, it is also displayed using the LCD.
