Smart Temperature Monitoring System

Image
Abstract Summer is showing its warm red color. We already know trees make much difference in temperature and weather. Even we have felt that as well. This small exercise of temperature monitoring was carried out to see technically how much relief the Green of trees gives against the Red hot of summer. We also learn how easy it is to make our own temperature monitoring device that can report temperature readings to the cloud through WiFi connectivity and can easily access readings through a mobile phone .   How to make our own temperature monitoring device. We can order below items online to make a Temperature monitoring device with internet connectivity. 1. ESP32 or ESP8266 for WiFi connectivity 2. DHT11 temperature and humidity sensor 3. Power bank to supply 5 V ( you might already have this) 4. Jumper cables For the software part, we will use Arduino IDE. We  will use DHT 11 Arduino library for DHT 11 temperature sensor and Firebase library for internet connectivity, there ...

Automatic Drip Irrigation System for small plants

Image
Let's show our love for trees and plants with help of some Internet of Things. When we go out for 10-15 days, we always have to think about what to do for the watering of our household plants. What if we can water our plants automatically at a scheduled time or remotely?  Let's see how we can make an automatic Drip Irrigation system to do that: We will need the below items to make it: Drip irrigation kit according to the number of plants. a submersible pump used in coolers or fountains. water cane of suitable size. ESP32 or ESP8266 board. Relay control board. 5V power supply. wifi router. some items were already available, remaining we can order online. first, we need to arrange a drip irrigation kit as per plants and water level of the water cane, connect it with the water pump placed in the water cane. manually test the pump and see if it is watering plants? note the timings required for watering.  second, set up the ESP wifi module with a relay control board and test your p...
