Nowadays, agriculture is increasingly an important sector for food self-sufficiency in particular and for the country's economy in general. With the dizzying development of electronics and computing and particularly thanks to IoT (Internet of Things) and ICT (Information and Communications Technologies) systems, we are witnessing a craze among researchers and manufacturers to focus on automatic and intelligent control of agricultural activity. In this sense, one of the major problems that should be managed in a more modern way is the automatic irrigation of plants.Our project is part of this perspective, and it consists of the design and construction of an automatic irrigation system for houseplants. The system will be designed using an embedded system such as IoT (Internet of Things) and based on a nano computer such as (Arduino, Raspberry, etc.). The system must irrigate the different plants according to temperature and humidity measurements or by predefined programs. The system must be equipped with communications technology that will allow it to be connected to the internet and accessible via websites and possibly accessible via SMS (Short Message Service) commands from the GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) system.

This project can be reproduced at the lowest cost in any country where water resources are limited.
This project can last over time and be improved using artificial intelligence and deap learning so that it adapts to any plant culture.
This project helps preserve the planet's most important resource, water, and helps poor populations practice more efficient and productive agriculture using as little water, electricity and effort as possible.
