Humidity and temperature monitoring is essential in agriculture to optimise crop growth and maintain ideal environmental conditions. This project proposes a resolution for monitoring humidity and temperature in agricultural environments by utilising the DHT11 sensor, Blynk cloud platform, NodeMCU ESP8266, and Arduino Uno microcontroller. The suggested system facilitates the collecting, processing, and visualisation of data in real-time, empowering farmers to make well-informed decisions for efficient crop management. The DHT11 sensor accurately measures humidity and temperature, which it subsequently transmits to the Blynk platform using the NodeMCU ESP8266. Blynk enables remote monitoring and analysis of environmental variables, providing farmers with the ability to store, analyse, and visualise data. The technology provides a cost-efficient and user-friendly method, enabling farmers to optimise irrigation schedules, regulate ventilation, and mitigate potential crop illnesses resulting from unfavourable humidity and temperature conditions. The amalgamation of the DHT11 sensor, NodeMCU ESP8266, and Arduino Uno offers a proficient and expandable resolution for monitoring humidity and temperature in agriculture, hence enhancing crop yields and promoting sustainable farming approaches.
