Nursery automation and monitoring in IoT using ThingView Free

IoT is an emerging technology in recent years. Using IoT, it is easy to build the application which makes human's life easier. It decreases the efforts of human physically and gives the pin-point values. Now-a-days, IoT has been implemented in every domain. One of the domains is nursery, where the plants are maintained in various weather conditions. The main objective of this paper is to develop an automated model which can also be monitored for the good growth of the plants in a nursery. Since various tiny plants are grown in a nursery, it is very important to monitor and maintain a good weather conditions which plays a key role. The parameters like humidity, temperature, and soil moisture are taken to monitor the plants. Whenever the temperature values are high, a fan is activated to maintain the temperature so that the plants will grow healthy. This doesn't involve a user to monitor the nursery all the time to ensure that all the plants are growing in a good condition with a good environment. This model is developed using Arduino AT Mega 328, ESP 8266 Wi-Fi module, and sensors like humidity, temperature, and soil moisture. The values predicted by these sensors can be viewed on ThingView Free application.
