Monitoring
Temperature and Humidity:
Sensors (e.g., DHT22) measure real-time conditions.
Data is displayed on an IoT dashboard.
Soil Moisture Levels:
Soil moisture sensors monitor water availability.
Light Intensity:
Light sensors track sunlight levels, activating grow lights if necessary.
Water Tank Levels:
Water level sensors ensure sufficient water for irrigation.
Control
Irrigation System:
Automated water pump activates based on soil moisture readings.
Ventilation and Cooling:
Fans or vents regulate temperature and humidity.
Lighting System:
LED grow lights provide supplemental lighting during low sunlight.
Remote Access:
Users can monitor and control systems through a mobile app or web platform.
