IoT-enabled farm automation refers to the use of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies—such as sensors, smart devices, wireless networks, and cloud platforms—to automate and optimize farming operations. This approach transforms traditional agriculture into smart farming, where machines and systems collect real-time data, make intelligent decisions, and control equipment with minimal human intervention.
Automated Irrigation System
Sensors detect soil dryness and trigger water pumps.
Saves water by irrigating only when needed.
Greenhouse Automation
Temperature and humidity sensors control fans, heaters, and misters.
Light sensors adjust artificial lighting.
Used for monitoring environmental and soil conditions:
Soil moisture sensor – Measures water content
Temperature & humidity sensor – Tracks climate
Light sensor (LDR) – Detects light intensity
pH and EC sensors – Monitor soil acidity and nutrient content
CO₂/gas sensors – Measure air quality and greenhouse gases
Automated watering based on soil moisture
Reduces over- and under-watering
Saves water by up to 30–50%
Nutrient sensors decide fertilizer dosing
Ensures balanced nutrition to crops
