Smart Plant Monitoring System with Blynk

Welcome to the Smart Plant Monitoring System repository! This project utilizes an ESP8266 microcontroller, a DHT11 sensor for temperature and humidity, and a soil moisture sensor. It communicates with the Blynk platform to monitor plant conditions and control a light indicator based on soil moisture levels. The following information will guide you through the project details and code.

Code Overview

• File: Smart Irrigation & Plant Monitoring.ino.txt

  This Arduino sketch reads temperature and humidity values from the DHT11 sensor, soil moisture from the analog sensor, and controls a light indicator. It communicates with the Blynk app for real-time monitoring and notifications.

Hardware Components

1. ESP8266 Microcontroller
2. DHT11 Sensor
3. Soil Moisture Sensor
4. LED (Light Indicator)
5. Resistors
6. Jumpers and Breadboard

Configuration

• Blynk Setup:
  • Replace auth with your Blynk authentication token.
  • Replace ssid and pass with your WiFi network credentials.

Pin Configuration

• DHT11 Sensor:

  • DHTPIN - Data pin connected to D1.

• Soil Moisture Sensor:

  • A0 - Analog pin connected to the sensor.

• LED (Light Indicator):

  • Light - Control pin connected to D2.

Usage

1. Blynk App:

   • Create a Blynk account and set up a new project.
   • Add three Value Display widgets (V1 for humidity, V2 for temperature, V3 for soil moisture) and a Notification widget.

2. Hardware Setup:

   • Connect the hardware components based on the provided pin configuration.
   • Upload the code to your ESP8266 using the Arduino IDE.

3. Monitor:

   • Open the Blynk app to monitor real-time temperature, humidity, and soil moisture.
   • The LED light indicates the soil moisture status (on when moisture is low, off when moisture is sufficient).

4. Notifications:

   • Receive Blynk notifications when soil moisture levels drop below or rise above set thresholds.

Additional Information

• Temperature and humidity values are read from the DHT11 sensor and displayed on the Blynk app.
• The soil moisture sensor determines soil moisture levels, and the LED light provides a visual indication.
• Notifications are sent to alert users when soil moisture conditions require attention.
