This paper designs and implements an automatic watering system for home potted plants based on the Internet of Things. The system can monitor the relevant parameters of the potted plant growth environment in real time, support local and remote control, and automatically complete operations such as irrigation, light supplementation, and cooling according to preset thresholds. It is equipped with functions such as abnormal alarm and parameter customization to meet the maintenance needs of different potted plants. The system realizes the automation and intelligence of home potted plant maintenance, reduces manual intervention, saves water resources, and is suitable for scenarios such as homes and offices. It provides a practical solution for intelligent potted plant maintenance and also offers practical reference for the application of smart home scenarios.
