DECLARATION I hereby declare that the report entitled “Splare: A Smart Plant Healthcare System” submitted by me, for the CSE3009 Internet of things (EPJ) to VIT is a record of bonafide work carried out by me under the supervision of Dr. N. Narayanan Prasanth. I further declare that the work reported in this report has not been submitted and will not be submitted, either in part or in full, for any other courses in this institute or any other institute or university.

However, it would not have been conceivable without the caring help and help of numerous people and associations. I might want to stretch out my true gratitude to every one of them. I'm exceptionally obliged to Dr N.Narayanan Prasanth for their direction and steady oversight just as for giving vital data with respect to the project and likewise for their help in finishing the project, which also helped me in doing a lot of Research and I came to know about so many new things. My thanks and appreciation additionally go to my partner in fostering the project and individuals who have eagerly assisted me with an excursion with their capacities." iii Abstract Nowadays, almost everyone wants organic and homegrown plants. Some desire them for health and safety concerns, while others just enjoy the greens. However, not all of them have time for taking care of the blush greens. Hence, various IoT based smart watering systems were introduced, which automates this entire process without much extra infrastructure. While another solution for this is to employ people for this purpose or any other form of equipment, which are mostly manually operated. One size does not fit all is true for plants too. A certain plant may require only half the amount of water as compared to others. Hence, deploying IoT based watering systems takes care of this as well. Moisture sensors are placed in soil which provides real-time data to a centralized system. This ensures the proper amount of water delivered to each plant as per specific need. Also with the other sensors like temperature and Humidity sensor, Ph sensor, Pressure sensor, NPK sensor a proper surrounding environment as well as the sufficient soil nutrients can be provided to the plants for their proper growth.
