Smart Irrigation System

This document describes a smart irrigation system using IoT that monitors soil moisture levels and automatically waters fields when needed. The system uses sensors like soil moisture sensors and a rain sensor to monitor the fields. It also includes a Raspberry Pi, relays, and a cloud service. When the soil moisture is low, the system turns on water pumps to irrigate the fields. Users can also control irrigation using a mobile app. The system aims to optimize water usage for agriculture and reduce dependency on monsoon rains.

INTRODUCTION:
In India, agriculture in villages plays an essential role in
developing the country. Basically, agriculture depends on the
monsoons which have not enough water source. To overcome
this problem, the microcontroller based smart irrigation
system is employed in the field of agriculture. In this system,
based on the soil type, the water will be provided to the
agricultural field. In agriculture, there are two things, namely,
the moisture content of the soil as well as the fertility of the soil.
At the present time, there are several types of techniques
available for irrigation to reduce the need for rain. This type of
technique is driven by on/off schedule using electrical power.
This article discusses the implementation of a automatic
irrigation system using IoT.
HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE REQUIREMENT:
1.) Raspberry pi 3B+:
The Raspberry Pi is small pocket size computer used to do
small computing and networking operations. It is the main
element in the field of internet of things. It provides access
to the internet and hence the connection of automation
system

with remote location controlling device becomes possible.


Raspberry Pi is available in various versions. Here, model Pi 2
model B is used and it has quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 CPU
of 900 MHz, and RAM of 1GB. it also has: 40 GPIO pins, Full
HDMI port, 4 USB ports, Ethernet port, 3.5mm audio jack,
video Camera interface (CSI), the Display interface (DSI), and
Micro SD card slot.
2.) Raspbian operating system
3.) Soil moisture sensor:
Soil moisture sensor measures the water content in soil. It
uses the property of the electrical resistance of the soil. The
relationship among the measured property and soil moisture
is calibrated and it varies depending on environmental
factors such as temperature, soil type, or electric
conductivity. Here, It is used to sense the moisture in field
and transfer it to raspberry pi in order to take controlling
action of switching water pump ON/OFF.

4.) Rain sensor


A rain sensor or rain switch is a switching device
activated by rainfall. There are two main applications for
rain sensors. The first is a water conservation device
connected to an automatic irrigation system that causes
the system to shut down in the event of rainfall. The
second is a device used to protect the interior of an
automobile from rain and to support the automatic
mode of wind screen wipers .

5.) Relay:
Relays are switches that open and close circuits
electromechanically or electronically. Relays
control one electrical circuit by opening and
closing contacts in another circuit. when a relay
contact is normally open (NO), there is an open
contact when the relay is not energized. When a
relay contact is Normally Closed (NC), there is a
closed contact when the relay is not energized.
In either case, applying electrical current to the
contacts will change their state.
6.) Cloud(pushbullet)

Working with Smart Irrigation System using


IoT:
In the agriculture field, sensors are used like soil moisture. The
information received from the sensors is sent to the cloud
through the raspberrypi . In the control section, the system is
activated using the application, this is finished using the
ON/OFF buttons in the application. Also, this system is
automatically activated when the soil moisture is low, the pump
is switched ON based on the moisture content.

The application has a feature like taking some time from the
user and water the agriculture field when the time comes. In
this system, there is a switch used to turn off the water supply if
the system fails. Other parameters such as the moisture sensor
demonstrate the threshold price and the level of water in the
soil.

Further, this project can be enhanced by designing this system


for large acres of soil. Also, this project can be incorporated to
make sure the value of the soil and the expansion of harvest in
each soil. The microcontroller and sensors are successfully
interfaced and wireless communication is attained between a
variety of nodes.

From the above information, finally, we can conclude that the


hardware components of this system interfaces with all the
sensors. The system is powered by a power source, and the
system has been checked for watering an agriculture field.
