Project Summary

Agriculture is done manually from ages. As the world is trending into new technologies and implementations it is a necessary goal to trend up with agriculture also. IOT plays a very important role in smart agriculture. IOT sensors are capable of providing information about agriculture fields. We have proposed an IOT and smart agriculture system using automation. This IOT based Agriculture monitoring system makes use of wireless sensor networks that collects data from different sensors deployed at various nodes and sends it through the wireless protocol. This smart agriculture uses IOT system which is powered by Raspberry pi3, esp8266 module. It consists of Temperature sensor, Moisture sensor, Rain sensor, humidity sensor, DC motor and valves. When the IOT based agriculture monitoring system starts it checks the levels of humidity and moisture level. It sends the data to cloud server for logging or display for the parameters.. After decision is made based on the code water pump starts and respective valve is actuated This all is displayed on the LCD display module as well as on a webpage and this information is availabe for analyzing and can be access form anywhere at anytime. The webpage shows information of Humidity, Moisture and Rain with date and time, based on per minute. Parameters can be set on a particular field, it is based on the type crops cultivated. If we want to close the water forcefully on IOT there is button given from where water pump can be forcefully stop or turned on.

Project Objectives

1) To facilitate local farmer in managing his crops intelligently to have higher yield.
2) To introduce IOT technology in the agriculture sector to have easy access and monitoring.
3) To fight water scarsity by using automated drip irrigation system.
4) To decrease the manual intervention by farmer or labour.
5) To save the wastage water through technology.
6) To manage and control the field using internet. 

Project Implementation Method

Implementation Method:

1. There are some Nodes in the area and each nodes consists its own controller and sensing devices.
2. The sensor data are to each nodes which are Moisture sensor, temperature and humidity sensor, and Rain sensor.
3. Each node also has a wireless transceiver, that communicate with the transceiver of the other Nodes.
4. ??????The nodes Data is transfer to the MicroController that is Raspberry pi 3.
5. Raspberry pi 3 send the Data to the cloud server that can be observed in the form of Data Logging, graph and that can also be controlled by the user manually.
6. bassed on the fields parameters then the controller decides which part of the field to be watered or fertillized using solenoid valves.

Benefits of the Project

1. Trade irrigation systems deliver exactly the amount of water that is needed. This helps keep plants healthy and beautiful without over watering and without wasting water when it can be evaporated in the sun or when it is already raining.
2. It can also increased the yield crops.
3. Make maintaining yard easy and convenient.
4. Reduce soil erosion and nutrient leaching.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

1. Moisture sensor: it is use for measure the  water content in Soil.
2. temperature and humidity sensor:it measure the temp and humid of air.
3.  flow sensor; is use to measure the amount of water supply to the fields.
4. Raspberry pi 3; is the master controller of the system that makes decision according to the input values.
5. solenoid valves; to direct the flow of water to a specified field.
6. Pump; is use to deliver the water to the field.
7. wifi module esp8266; is ues to communicate with the IOT cloud server.
8. nrf module: is use to communicates between differents Nodes.
9. Software; Arduino ide software is use for programming purposes.(UBI DOT, The Things).
10. power supply; 220v AC.
11. inverter; 12v dc 220 AC
