Abstract

It is proposing an IoT-based weather monitoring system. This will monitor, in real-time, the critical environmental parameters aid for farming. Soil moisture, temperature, humidity, and rainfall will be measured parameters that help optimize agricultural practices and perfect the use of water. The IoT technology will, therefore, include a microcontroller such as NodeMCU that tracks soil moisture levels and automates irrigation. If the soil moisture falls below 50%, then the programming will start the motor irrigating the fields. Both moisture and motor states are displayed on LCD and sent to the Blynk app, so through this application, farmers can check the status remotely through their smartphone. In addition, it continuously monitors real-time temperatures and humidity levels. The Internet of Things (IoT) has significantly transformed farming operations by enhancing data collection and monitoring processes. Sensors placed in remote field locations can gather real-time environmental data, allowing farmers to make immediate decisions, such as whether to irrigate crops or protect them from unexpected rainfall. With IoT integration, tasks like irrigation can be automated, reducing the need for manual intervention and increasing efficiency. Additionally, IoT systems can store data over time, providing insights into long-term weather patterns. This information helps optimize farmland management, ultimately leading to higher crop yields. Continuous updating of data is provided in the Blynk app for ease of access. It uses one rain sensor module connected with Arduino Uno through a GSM module to send real-time signals whenever there is the presence of rainfall and thus affords an initial response to any change in weather. So, it supports efficient irrigation and guards’ crops from unwanted rainfalls. Therefore, the whole aim of this initiative is to ensure that agriculture remains sustainable and such appropriate weather data is available at the right time to the farmers. This is the internet of things: an inexpensive and user-friendly solution to augment productivity in agriculture in combination with resource management; the project should, as such, demonstrate how using the IoT application introduces smart agricultural tools for water usage reduction and improvement in crop management decisions.

Keywords: IoT, weather monitoring, agriculture, soil moisture, rain detection, NodeMCU, Arduino, real-time data, Blynk application, GSM module.
