Abstract
The Internet of Things (IoT) has allowed to connect heterogeneous devices to offer new services and applications to users using information of the environment. The goal of this paper is to present an IoT-System to continuously monitor changes in the soil moisture content and ambient temperature of ornamental plants. In addition, an irrigation system was implemented to maintain the soil moisture of the plants within a time interval. The activation time of the water pump constitutes the estimated variable of the proposed automated IoT -System, so the research methodology was applied in carrying out tests and experimentations related to this variable. The irrigation system can be activated from an App developed in Android, likewise, a proposed electronic system based on Arduino and the ESP8266-201 microchip has been developed, and the communication between the ESP8266 and Arduino is achieved through AT commands. As a complement, SigFox technology has been proposed to collect and store the plant's soil moisture measurement values in a database server. The proposal presents important results to determine intervals of time and amount of water to supply for ornamental plants.
