Smart Farm

This guide intended to teach you how to create a Smart Agriculture project using IoT.

Introduction

Internet of Things (IoT) plays an important role in having Smart Agriculture. What do we mean by Smart Agriculture? Smart Agriculture refers to a farm that has several sensors and devices that can process and collect data. This data can be used to monitor and operate using IoT interfaces. For example, farmers can monitor weather information such as temperature and humidity or they can monitor the soil moisture level and based on that they decide how much/when to water the plants. All of these processes can be done through a web application or a mobile phone. Farmers can monitor the data from their phones and turn on/ off the irrigation system to water the plants. Isn't it amazing? This is only one example of million applications that can be done using IoT to make the farm's operations more efficient. For more info please watch the below video.

Overview

In this guide, we will:

  • Introduce the Smart Agriculture project.
  • Cover the hardware required to recreate this project.
  • Provide a step-by-step guide on how to do the wiring.
  • Teach you how to do the coding for this project using Python programming language.
  • Explain how to create an IoT interface using Adafruit and control the farm through a web application/your phone.

After reading through this guide, you can send us a request to borrow the hardware required for doing this project.
