Smart Home Agriculture: Harnessing IoT for Sustainability and Productivity 

In this project , digitalization is implemented where various software such as Blynk, Wokwi, Marvin JS, Avogadro and design experts were used. IoT, which includes Blynk and Wokwi, simulates the parameter used in terms of coding, while design experts offer analytical and graphical techniques for model fitting and interpretation. Meanwhile, Marvin JS and Avogadro represent the chemical structure of the compound. The issue that leads to this project is that the food source is insecure due to lack of space for agricultural use and increasing price of food supplies. Digitalization is implemented where a sensor is used to detect the soil moisture level and pH level by embedding it into the hydrogel inside the soil. The importance of this project is to improve the efficiency in agriculture and reduce the workload of workers. In this project, strategy is used where the moisture level and pH level of the soil is detected by sensors that will send signals to the monitor or mobile phone. This strategy helps in reducing workload and minimizes water usage that produces more crops while minimizing cost to hire workers and water bills. This project leads to various discoveries such as the suitable types of sensors used and types of chemicals that can be detected by the sensors. The importance of these discoveries is that it specifies the materials and apparatus used that would both save the cost in industrial application and the environment.
