Abstract: Smart farming systems have gained significant attention in recent years due to the growing need for efficient water management in agriculture. The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies with farming systems has opened up new possibilities for real-time monitoring and control, resulting in improved water usage, crop yield, and overall sustainability. This paper presents a detailed overview of a smart farming system based on IoT, employing the ESP8266 microcontroller, PIR sensor, pump, buzzer, soil and moisture sensor, and temperature sensor. The proposed system aims to optimize farming practices by leveraging real-time data acquisition and analysis. The PIR sensor (Passive Infrared Sensor) is employed to detect human presence in the vicinity of the farming system. The soil and moisture sensor plays a crucial role in determining the water content of the soil. The temperature sensor monitors the ambient temperature, providing valuable insights into environmental conditions.
