Project Overview

The IoT based Automated Irrigation System & Mobile App for Tea Garden is a B.Sc. Engineering thesis project carried out in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of B.Sc. (Engineering) in Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Chittagong. This project aims to develop an automated irrigation system for tea gardens using Internet of Things (IoT) technology along with a mobile app interface.

Project Features

• Automated Irrigation: The system utilizes various sensors, including soil moisture and rain sensors, to determine the optimal irrigation needs for the tea garden.
• Mobile App Interface: A mobile app is developed to provide real-time monitoring and control of the irrigation system remotely. The Pumping motor can also be manually turn OFF or ON by the Mobile App.
• Weather Status: The system can detect rain and sunny conditions using the rain sensor, providing accurate weather data to assist in irrigation decisions.
• Soil Moisture Monitoring: Soil moisture sensors measure the soil's moisture level, ensuring that plants receive the appropriate amount of water.
• Water Pump Control: The system automatically controls the water pump based on the weather conditions and soil moisture levels.
