**Water your plants from anywhere using the Arduino IoT Cloud**

Decorating your home with plants is an easy way to bring some life into your day-to-day. The only problem is - those plants need water to survive, and if you forget to pay attention to them for a while you may need to start over. So instead of staying ever vigilant, why not spend an afternoon creating a setup that will let you both monitor the amount of moisture in your plants soil, and water your plants from afar using the [Arduino IoT Cloud](https://docs.arduino.cc/cloud/iot-cloud)?

### In a Nutshell

+
In this tutorial we will learn how attaching an external relay to the Arduino Nano Screw Terminal Adapter lets you control circuits that are powered separately. We will be using a relay module attached to the Arduino Nano Screw Terminal Adapter to control a pump, providing water for one of our plants from the Arduino IoT Cloud thanks to the functionality of the Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect.

There are cases were multiple wires are going into the same screw terminal, you may find it easier to get them in at the same time if you twist them together before trying to insert them.

We also provide a template which you can use to get started without the need to configure the entire IoT Cloud setup manually. Check out [IoT Cloud Template](https://create.arduino.cc/iot/templates/plant-watering-kit) for an automated setup process.
Begin by navigating to the [Arduino IoT Cloud](https://create.arduino.cc/iot/things). You will need to have a registered account with Arduino to use it. Follow the steps below to set up the Arduino IoT Cloud.

Let's take a look at what our Smart Garden can do. To control it, we can either use the dashboard in the Arduino IoT Cloud, or the Arduino Remote app ([Playstore](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cc.arduino.cloudiot&hl=en&gl=US) / [Appstore](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/arduino-iot-cloud-remote/id1514358431)).
