MelonTrack IoT is a web-based IoT platform for real-time monitoring and automation of melon farming operations. Built with Laravel (TALL Stack), Firebase, and SIM800L GSM, it tracks critical environmental and soil parameters such as soil moisture, soil pH, water pH, temperature (°C), and humidity (%).
The system automates irrigation, ventilation, and lighting, while also sending SMS alerts whenever sensor thresholds are exceeded—helping farmers respond immediately even without internet connectivity.
Deployed on Hostinger.
Live app: MelonTrack IoT
- Soil Moisture (%): Monitors soil water levels for healthy melon growth.
- Soil pH: Tracks soil acidity and alkalinity balance.
- Water pH: Ensures nutrient water quality remains optimal.
- Temperature (°C): Maintains ideal growing temperature conditions.
- Humidity (%): Monitors greenhouse or farm humidity levels.
- Real-time charts and historical logs powered by Firebase.
- Automatic control of:
- Irrigation systems
- Ventilation fans
- Grow lights
- Sensor thresholds configurable through the web dashboard.
- SIM800L GSM module sends SMS alerts whenever readings go beyond safe thresholds.
-
Soil Moisture < 40% → “⚠ Low soil moisture detected in melon field.”
-
Water pH > 7.5 → “⚠ Water pH too high, nutrient adjustment required.”
-
Temperature > 30°C → “⚠ High temperature detected in greenhouse.”
Works even without internet connectivity.
- Create and monitor planting cycles.
- Record melon harvest yield (kg/tons) for analytics and productivity tracking.
