Building an IoT device can be challenging, especially for those new to the technology. It requires hard work, dedication, and the right tools to get the job done. That’s where Favoriot comes in. Favoriot is a cloud-based platform for IoT device management that makes building and managing IoT devices easy and efficient.

What is IoT?

Before diving into Favoriot, it’s essential to understand what IoT is. IoT stands for the Internet of Things, which refers to the interconnectedness of physical devices embedded with sensors, software, and other technologies that allow them to collect and exchange data over the Internet. IoT devices can be used for various purposes, such as monitoring environmental conditions, tracking inventory, and improving safety in public spaces.

What is Favoriot?

Favoriot is a cloud-based platform that provides everything you need to build, connect, and manage IoT devices. It’s designed to be user-friendly and easy to use, even for those without experience with IoT. With Favoriot, you can connect your device to the internet, collect and analyze data, and monitor your device’s performance from a single platform.

Benefits of using Favoriot

One of the main benefits of using Favoriot is its ease of use. The platform is designed to be user-friendly and intuitive, so you can get started immediately without spending hours learning how to use it. Additionally, Favoriot provides comprehensive documentation and online support to help you every step of the way.

Another benefit of using Favoriot is its built-in analytics tools. With these tools, you can quickly analyze the data you collect and visualize it in a way that is easy to understand. This can be especially helpful when presenting your project to others, allowing you to communicate your findings.

Finally, Favoriot is a cloud-based platform, meaning you can access it anywhere with an internet connection. This makes it easy to monitor your device’s performance and collect real-time data no matter where you are.

How Siti used Favoriot to build her IoT device

Siti, a computer science student at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, used Favoriot to build an IoT device to monitor water quality in different parts of Kuala Lumpur. With Favoriot, Siti could quickly and easily connect her device to the internet and start collecting data. She also used Favoriot’s built-in analytics tools to analyze the data she collected and visualize it in a way that was easy to understand.

Throughout the project, Siti encountered several challenges, but she overcame them with the help of Favoriot’s comprehensive documentation and online support community. With Favoriot, Siti could stay on track and make steady progress, ultimately leading to her project’s successful completion.

Conclusion

Building an IoT device can be daunting, but with the right tools and resources, it can be done successfully. Favoriot is a cloud-based platform for IoT device management that provides everything you need to build, connect, and manage your IoT device. Its ease of use, built-in analytics tools, and comprehensive support make it an ideal choice for anyone looking to build an IoT device. As Siti’s experience shows, Favoriot can help you complete your IoT project and achieve your goals.

IOT Automatic Plant Watering System

April 3rd, 2023 Posted by BLOG 2 thoughts on “IOT Automatic Plant Watering System”

This project is based on the article written here. Automated plant watering systems have been around for a while now. Still, they have never been as intelligent and comprehensive as the Arduino-based automatic plant watering system that our team has designed.

The system is perfect for users with a day job and frequently travel since it waters plants only when necessary without human intervention. The design features a built-in function that allows the user to be updated from time to time about the status of the system and the plant, making it unique from other plant watering innovations in the current market.

Our report details how the entire system works, which consists of two main parts, the offline watering system, and the online ESP8266 Wifi shield, as well as the FAVORIOT PLATFORM. Each part is explained in detail to create a complete system. We also discuss the materials, experimental design, and results.

In the automated plant watering system, a moisture level sensor is attached to the plant’s soil, and when the sensor’s reading is below the pre-set value, the pump will be activated. On the other hand, when the sensor reading is above the pre-set value, the pump will be deactivated. The pump will pump water from a built-in water tank.

An Arduino-compatible shield known as the ESP8266 ESP-01E UART Wi-Fi shield helps the Arduino board connect to the internet. It allows data integration from the Arduino board using the FAVORIOT platform. The FAVORIOT platform is compatible with any Internet of Things (IoT) and can collect and store data from various sensors and microcontrollers. The user is updated about the system’s status via emails, and graphs of the moisture and water tank levels are displayed on the FAVORIOT platform.

We describe the completed setup of the project, which includes ESP8266 ESP-01E UART Wi-Fi shield, Soil Moisture Sensor, Water Level Sensor, 6-12V of the water pump, 12V relay, 7.4V Li-Po Battery, three pots of soil, water tank, breadboard, and Arduino UNO. We also discuss the AT Command of the ESP8266 Wifi shield module that we used to manipulate the ESP8266 Wifi shield module to perform various tasks.

The functionality of the components is tabulated, and we display pictures of the complete overall system, the soil moisture level sensor sensing a dry plant, the water pump receiving a signal to pump water, the soil moisture level sensor sensing a wet plant, the water pump not receiving a signal, and the reading of the Soil Moisture Level sensor and Water level sensor sent to the FAVORIOT PLATFORM in a JSON string form from time to time.

Our team successfully designed an automated plant watering system that emails the user when the water tank level or moisture level is low. The system is unique from other plant watering innovations on the market due to its built-in function that allows the user to be updated from time to time about the system’s and the plant’s status. Future work on this project could focus on improving the neatness of the project box and further development of the FAVORIOT PLATFORM.
