IoT based Smart Irrigation

Hey Folks, I’m back again with a very interesting and almost most useful project related to irrigation. IoT based smart irrigation. People who love gardening feels it very annoying to go everyday for status of their plants. So today we gonna demonstrate how you can get real time status of your garden with the help of few components. We gonna use NodeMCU and Blynk app for real time data capture for viewing status of mostly all things. So let’s begin!!!!

If you are new to this site or a beginner so before starting read this brief info about NodeMCU. NodeMCu is basically same as other microcontrollers like Arduino Uno or Nano. But it has better speed, flash space, also has in-built Wi-Fi and bluetooth. There are various models in market which are very good and has both functionalities. But today we gonna use most common version available in the market i.e., NodeMCU (ESP8266MOD).

Also it runs on 3.3v logic level which reduces the chances of logic level problem we came across various sensors while using Arduino microcontroller. So to sum up I must say that it is pretty much everything for a beginner in IoT field. Remember to download CH340 driver for this module as sometimes it doesn’t get detected on computer or laptop at first. So install it from here.
