## Introduction

In this project, we'll build a smart watering system that ensures your plants receive the right amount of water. The ESP8266 collects soil moisture data, displays it on an LCD, and allows control via a Blynk app.

## Materials

You'll need the following components:

- NodeMCU ESP8266

- Soil moisture sensor

- 16x2 LCD display

- Water pump

- Jumper wires

- Relay module

- Power supply

## Circuit Diagram

Connect the components as shown in the circuit diagram below:

## Setup and Configuration

1. **Install Arduino IDE:**

   - Make sure you have the Arduino IDE installed.

   - Add the ESP8266 board support via the Board Manager.

2. **Library Installation:**

   - Install the necessary libraries:

     - Blynk (for app communication)

     - LiquidCrystal (for the LCD display)

     - Adafruit Unified Sensor (for the soil moisture sensor)

3. **Blynk App Setup:**

   - Create a new project in the Blynk app.

   - Add a Gauge widget to display soil moisture.

   - Add a Button widget to control the water pump.

   - Connect the phone and device with same mobile data and hotspot.

   

4. **Code Configuration:**

   - Upload the provided Arduino sketch (`smart_plant_watering.ino`) to your NodeMCU.

   - Configure your Wi-Fi credentials and Blynk authentication token.

5. **Assemble the Hardware:**

   - Connect the components according to the circuit diagram .

   - Place the soil moisture sensor in the plant's soil.

## Usage

1. Power up your NodeMCU.

2. Open the Blynk app and monitor soil moisture levels.

3. Press the button in the app to activate the water pump.
