In this article, well take a look at ten impressive IoT projects made by makers in the community.
1.Plant Communicator
Keeping your plants alive can be a challenge as there are many factors involved.
Create your own plant communicator by following the Arduino Project Hub tutorial linked above.
It is created with anArduino Nano, servo, LEDs, transistor, MOSFET, potentiometer, and resistors.
3.Smart Garbage Monitoring System
This project is a smart system for monitoring your trash.
Specifically, it monitors the level of garbage in a trashcan at a given time.
4.Cocktail Mixing Robot
Want a robot that mixes drinks for you?
This robotic bartender does just that!
Furthermore, the entire design runs on just eight AA batteries!
