Smart sensors and a camera team up to water plants smarter

OpenAlex · 2026-10-02

Engineers built a low-cost automated plant watering system that uses temperature, humidity, soil moisture, light sensors, and a camera to decide when and how long to water, adjusting irrigation on the fly instead of running on a fixed schedule.

System combines ESP32 and ESP32-CAM hardware to monitor temperature, humidity, soil moisture, and light while capturing plant images

2

A zero-order Sugeno Fuzzy Logic algorithm uses soil moisture and light intensity as two inputs to calculate adaptive irrigation duration
