How it works

My first hardware project. An Arduino reads soil moisture, rain, light, temperature and humidity, and an ESP8266 sends the readings to Firebase.

A Next.js dashboard shows live sensor cards, alerts, history graphs and weather. It also has AI insights from Gemini, a yield plan, voice notifications, a language switcher and a 3D view of the farm.

We showed it at Prakalpa 2025, a national-level hardware showcase.

What stuck

Unlike software hacks, hardware projects must be presentable.
