IoT enabled plant soil moisture monitoring using wireless sensor networks

Abstract

In recent years, the increasing demand on organic farming necessitates continuous monitoring of plant health. In order to ensure the quality and quantity this becomes more essential. Hence, the objective of this research is to develop a remote monitoring system that continuously monitors the soil moisture of the plant. The Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is integrated with Internet of Things (IoT) to achieve the above objective. Further, to enhance the network lifetime, Exponential Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) event detection algorithm is adopted in the proposed research.
