Abstract
The automated indoor plant monitoring system integrates sensor technology to provide real time effective and practical solution for monitoring key parameters such as soil moisture, temperature and humidity. The primary aim of this project is design and develop an indoor plant water monitoring system focusing on checking the moisture of soil without human workforce, highlighting the significance of such technology in enhancing plant care and addressing challenges by indoor gardeners. This system utilizes two soil moisture sensors embedded in the plant pots, which continuously measure the moisture content of the soil. These sensors are connected to the MCU programmed to collect and process the sensor data. Initial testing of the prototype has shown promising results, with the system effectively monitoring soil moisture levels and providing timely feedback through LCD. This test is conducted to examine the values represented by the dry soil and wet soil in the microcontroller. The user interface provides a user-friendly experience. According to soil moisture the system will starting or ending water supply.
