Automação do monitoramento de plantas usando o módulo NodeMCU V3 Esp8266

Abstract

Nowadays, the growth of technology in all sectors of industry is evident, especially with regard to automation. Through various techniques and equipment, technology is present from planting to harvesting a diverse variety of agricultural crops. One of the crops in constant growth is the cultivation of vegetables, from subsistence to a commercial level. The present work proposes to facilitate the planting of vegetables and reduce the time spent monitoring their cultivation through a technology that uses sensors, actuators and a microcontroller that, together, produce a great cost benefit for those who grow them. The technology uses temperature, luminosity and soil humidity sensors to measure these environmental conditions and, through actuators, activates a lamp, a mini water pump and/or mini fan in order to optimise the cultivation of vegetables. Sensors and actuators can be monitored through a manager application called Blynk. For this work, a microcontroller called NodeMCU V3 Esp8266 was used to control and connect all components.
