Cloud-enabled IoT agriculture monitoring system
Why Choose This Project?
Agriculture is moving towards precision farming, and IoT combined with cloud computing allows farmers to monitor crops, soil, water, and weather conditions in real time. This project leverages IoT sensors to collect environmental data and uses the cloud for storage, analytics, and decision-making. It’s a scalable, low-cost, and practical solution that can help optimize crop yield and reduce resource wastage.
What You Get
-
A complete IoT-to-cloud pipeline.
-
Real-time monitoring dashboard.
-
Alerts and notifications for farmers.
-
Automated decision-making using cloud services.
Key Features
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Sensor Data Collection | IoT devices (soil moisture, temperature, humidity, pH) collect farm data. |
| Cloud Data Storage | Sensor data sent to cloud (AWS IoT Core, Azure IoT Hub, or GCP IoT Core). |
| Real-time Dashboard | Farmers view conditions via a cloud-hosted web/mobile app. |
| Alerts & Notifications | SMS/Email/Push notifications if thresholds (e.g., soil dryness) are exceeded. |
| Smart Recommendations | AI/ML models suggest irrigation, fertilizer, or crop protection measures. |
| Remote Access | Monitor and control farm from anywhere with cloud connectivity. |
| Device Control | Remotely turn irrigation pumps/fans ON/OFF using IoT + cloud integration. |
