This document describes a smart agriculture monitoring system using IoT. Sensors are deployed to monitor soil moisture, temperature, and motion. The sensor data is sent to a microcontroller via RS232. The microcontroller can automatically turn irrigation on/off based on sensor thresholds and send alerts via GSM module. The system aims to provide real-time insights, accurate yield evaluation, remote management, and disease/pest alerts to help farmers increase crop productivity.

Introduction
 As the world is trending into new technologies and implementations it is a
necessary goal to trend up in agriculture also. Many researches are done in the field of
agriculture. Most projects signify the use of wireless sensor network collect data from
different sensors deployed at various nodes and send it through the wireless protocol.
 The collected data provide the information about the various environmental factors.
Monitoring the environmental factors is not the complete solution to increase the yield of
crops. There are number of other factors that decrease the productivity to a greater
extent.
 Hence automation must be implemented in agriculture to overcome these problems. So,
in order to provide solution to all such problems, it is necessary to develop an integrated
system which will take care of all factors affecting the productivity in every stage. Hence
this project deals about developing smart agriculture using IoT and given to the farmers.
Proposed Work
In the field section, various sensors are deployed in the field like temperature
sensor, moisture sensor and PIR sensor. The data collected from these sensors are
connected to the microcontroller through RS232.

In manual mode, the user has to switch ON and OFF the microcontroller by pressing
the button in the Android Application developed. This is done with the help of GSM
Module.

In automatic mode, the microcontroller gets switched ON and OFF automatically if


the value exceeds the threshold point. Soon after the microcontroller is started,
automatically an alert must be sent to the user. This is achieved by sending a
message to the user through the GSM module.

Other parameters like the temperature, humidity, moisture and the PIR sensors
shows the threshold value and the water level sensor is used just to indicate the
level of water inside a tank or the water resource.
Hardware Used

 PIC16F877A-MICROCONTROLLER
 GSM MODULE
 SOIL MOISTURE SENSOR
 TEMPERATURE SENSOR
 PIR SENSOR
PIC16F877A-MICROCONTROLLER

The PIC microcontroller 16F877A is one of the most popular microcontrollers in


the industry. It is user convenient and easier to handle. The coding or
programming of this controller is also easy. The program that is coded can be
easily erased due to the flash memory technology. The microcontroller has wide
range of applications used in many huge industries. It is used in security, remote
sensors, home appliances and industrial automations. An EEPROM is also featured
which is used to store the information permanently like transmitter codes and
receives frequencies and some other related data.
GSM MODULE

GSM Modem can accept any GSM network operator SIM and it can act just like
a mobile phone with its own unique phone number. The necessity to use this is it
can use RS-232 protocol which can be easily connected to the controller. It can
be used like a phone where it can send and receive SMS and make a call.

The GSM modem is connected to the controller through RS232. The SMS is sent
through the terminal to the number using AT Commands. “AT-Attention”
commands which is used by the controller to control the GSM to perform the
desired function. It also has reverse voltage protection and the LED notifications.
It is operated in 900/1800 MHz.
SOIL MOISTURE SENSOR
 Soil moisture sensor is a sensor which senses the moisture content of the soil.
The sensor has both the analog and the digital output. The digital output is
fixed and the analog output threshold can be varied. It works on the principle
of open and short circuit. The output is high or low indicated by the LED.
When the soil is dry, the current will not pass through it and so it will act as
open circuit. Hence the output is said to be maximum. When the soil is wet,
the current will pass from one terminal to the other and the circuit is said to
be short and the output will be zero.
 The sensor is platinum coated to make the efficiency high. The range of
sensing is also high. It is anti-rust and so the sensor has long life which will
afford the farmer at a minimum cost.
TEMPERATURE SENSOR

 The LM 35 sensor is highly used because its output voltage is


linear with the Celsius scaling of temperature. It does not
provide any external trimming. It has a wide operating range.
The maximum output is 5V. The output will increase 10mV
for every one degree rise in temperature. The range is from -
55 degrees to +150 degrees. There are three terminals as
Vcc, Ground and the analog sensor. It consumes minimum
amount of electricity. Thus, it is energy efficient. It is very
efficient in horticulture. It is user friendly to use.
PIR SENSOR
 All objects with a temperature above absolute zero emit heat energy in the
form of radiation. It is invisible to the human eye since it radiates infrared
wavelengths. PIR sensors don’t detect or measure heat, instead they detect
the infrared radiation emitted or reflected from an object. It is used to
detect the movement of people, animals or other objects. They are
commonly used in burglar alarms and automatically activated lighting
systems. When a human passes in the field, the temperature at that point will
rise from room temperature. The sensor converts the resulting change into a
change in the output voltage and this triggers the detection.
Software used
PROTEUS 8 SIMULATOR

Proteus 8 is one of the best simulation software for various circuit designs
of microcontroller. It has almost all microcontrollers and electronic
components readily available in it and hence it is widely used simulator.

It can be used to test programs and embedded designs for electronics


before actual hardware testing. The simulation of programming of
microcontroller can also be done in Proteus. Simulation avoids the risk of
damaging hardware due to wrong design.
Advantages

Real-Time Data and Insights.

Accurate Farm and Yield Evaluation

Remote Monitoring for Easy Management

Disease/pest location alerts

Water Conservation
Conclusion

For future developments it can be enhanced by developing this system


for large acres of land. Also the system can be integrated to check the quality
of the soil and the growth of crop in each soil. The sensors and microcontroller
are successfully interfaced and wireless communication is achieved between
various nodes. All observations and experimental tests prove that this project is
a complete solution to field activities and irrigation problems. Implementation
of such a system in the field can definitely help to improve the yield of the
crops and overall production.
