6. CONCLUSIONS
Ultimately, a reliable smart irrigation system based on the
Arduino UNO board was designed. The microcontroller circuit
has been deployed using smart sensors to monitor the soil state
of the mint plant. This circuit included an Arduino UNO, a
relay, temperature, soil moisture, and water flow sensors, a
motor (5v), and a battery. The circuit is fully operating, and we
validated the effectiveness of this system on a mint vase for
one day of recording. After studying the sensed data
