The Internet of Things (IoT) is a system of smart sensors that can be used to control and monitor objects from anywhere on the Internet. This sophisticated method can be utilized to boost modern farming's production and quality. As a result, the goal of this study was to offer a novel smart farming application based on the Internet of Things. In this study, a smart agricultural prototype was created to assess the humidity in paddy bags placed in various locations across a farm. The NodeMCU ESP8266 microcontroller and the DHT11 temperature and humidity, MQ135 sensor, Soil moisture sensor, and LDR sensor were used to communicate data to the Blynk server through a Wi-Fi network in this smart capsule. The Dc water pump, exhaust fan, cooling fan, and LED bulb are also some appliances that are also connected can be controlled manually or automatically based on the data collected from the sensors. The Arduino IDE was being used to write the microcontroller's C++ code. The cloud-based dashboard was used to monitor and display real-time humidity data using the Blynk mobile application. The humidity data was examined further and used to create a paddy storage system for the future. Furthermore, when the smart capsule lost contact with the Blynk server, a fast notification was issued to the appropriate parties. As per the results, the developed smart farming and Blynk application can work together efficiently and are suitable for use in smart farming.
