Abstract
This article presents the development of a low cost system, based on the IoT paradigm, to monitor and control the irrigation of plants and vegetables in domestic gardens. The system consists of a set of electronic components able to extract data from the garden and an Application Programming Interface (API), that uses the Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol, to control the communication with sensors and actuator. The sensed information can be further visualized on our own Web and Mobile Applications (for Android and iOS). Our system capabilities include obtaining weekly data plots (from hygrometer and humidity sensors) and automatizing the irrigation system, making the user able to schedule irrigation or even activate it remotely.
