Smart Farming using IoT, a solution for optimally monitoring farming conditions

Internet of Things (IoT) is present and future of every field impacting everyone's life by making everything intelligent. It is a network of different devices which make a self-configuring network. The new developments of Smart Fanning with use of IoT, by day turning the face of conventional agriculture methods by not only making it optimal but also making it cost efficient for farmers and reducing crop wastage. The aim is to propose a technology which can generate messages on different platforms to notify farmers. The product will assist farmers by getting live data (Temperature, humidity, soil moisture, UV index, IR) from the farmland to take necessary steps to enable them to do smart farming by also increasing their crop yields and saving resources (water, fertilizers). The product proposed in this paper uses ESP32s Node MCU, breadboard, DHT11 Temperature and Humidity Sensor, Soil Moisture Sensor, SI1145 Digital UV Index / IR / Visible Light Sensor, Jumper wires, LEDs and live data feed can be monitored on serial monitor and Blynk mobile. This will allow farmer to manage their crop with new age in farming. (C) 2019 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.
