Smart Farming Utilizing Blynk Server: Wireless Control for Irrigation, Water Lanes, and Security

EasyChair Preprint 13079

Abstract

Smart farming, also referred to as precision agriculture, has gained recognition for its potential to increase crop yields, optimize resource utilization, and promote environmental sustainability. This study explores the effectiveness of using the Blynk server, a prominent Internet of Things (IoT) platform, for implementing smart farming practices. A comprehensive smart farming system was developed, utilizing the Blynk server to manage various farm aspects, including irrigation, water lane adjustments, object/animal detection, and environmental monitoring. The impact of this system on crop yields, resource consumption, and sustainability was evaluated. The results highlight the efficiency and feasibility of Blynk server-based smart farming in transforming agricultural practices.
