Abstract: The field Internet of Things has become one of the most important technologies of the century. The reason behind the rapid growth of this technology is the ability to connect and transfer data over a network without requiring human to human or human to computer interaction. In the proposed system which is based on IoT, is a fully automated system which can be used as a monitoring system for water level in the overhead tank and also for monitoring various parameters required for better and healthy growth of the crops such as the intensity of light in the cabin, moisture of the soil in vertical farming module, etc. This system can be used as monitoring system within home or workplace to keep a track on the parameters. With the use of various sensors, the system monitors various parameters dynamically. The provided values from various sensors are analyzed by Raspberry pi and accordingly the action was taken with the help of various actuators. The proposed system can be use used in agriculture because in the field of Agriculture, it is very important to monitor various key growing conditions that plants require such as temperature, light, water, etc. Along with all this we also need to have a major concern about the monitoring of water in the upper head water tank to minimize the water wastage due to over flow. Monitoring these isn’t possible manually because of the human unreliability and inaccuracy.
Keywords: Water level monitoring, Vertical farming, IoT, Raspberry Pi.
