IoT Based Low Cost Smart Irrigation System

Abstract

One of the essential and basic services to survive on earth is Water. Recent time increasing the scarcity of water due to growing in population. So this is becoming as a universal obstacle. The old irrigation system which demands a lot of water, so it needs smart techniques for reducing the percentage of wasting available water for the irrigation. We have been seeing the increasing of huge demand for Internet of things in every domain from small and simple applications to large and complex applications. Practically implementation of a Smart Irrigation is very complex deal, but association with IoT using Smart wireless sensors it brings a great management system. The Humidity and Temperature Sensor sense the both water vapor content and temperature around the plant. The Soil Moisture Sensor sense the soil moisture of a plant, if water content is below minimum requirement then water will supply from water reservoir using relay and Ultrasonic sensor measures the water level of reservoir after that sends the data to ESP8266 NodeMCU. ESP8266 NodeMCU is a Microcontroller gets the data from smart wireless sensors, process the data and send to destination through A Message Queue Telemetry Transport (MQTT)protocol.
