IoT-Based Agriculture Monitoring System

Abstract

Internet of things (IoT) plays a crucial role in smart agriculture. Smart farming is an emerging concept, as IoT sensors are capable of providing information about their agriculture fields. Our focus is to provide farmers with an IoT-based Web application for monitoring the agriculture fields and its conditions. With the arrival of open supply NodeMCU boards beside low-cost wet sensors, it is viable to make devices that monitor the temperature/humidity sensor and soil wet content associated, consequently irrigating the fields or the landscape as and when required. The projected system makes use of microcontroller NodeMCU platform and IoT that alert farmers to remotely monitor the standing of sprinklers placed on the agricultural farms by knowing the sensing element values, thereby making the farmers’ work a lot of easier when considering different farm-related activities.
