In recent years, smart farming has gained immense popularity, especially with the integration of IoT (Internet of Things) solutions. Today, we'll explore how Zoho IoT, combined with the powerful ESP32 microcontroller and a soil moisture sensor, can help you take control of your garden, farm, or any agricultural project.
Why IoT in Agriculture?
Agriculture is no longer limited to traditional methods. With the rise of IoT, you can now automate and remotely monitor various aspects of farming. This helps to improve efficiency, conserve resources, and ensure better crop health. Soil moisture monitoring is one of the critical components of smart farming, as it directly impacts crop yield, water usage, and overall plant health.
Setting Up Zoho IoT with ESP32 and Soil Moisture Sensor:
1. Hardware You’ll Need:
