Smart Farming: Monitoring of Field Status and Control of Irrigation Using Sensors and Esp8266 Nodemcu Module

Abstract

The concept of smart work is the trend today, which has assimilated into every walk of life. While agriculture sector is growing but the speed of growth is far less compared to othersectors because of not using new technologies and gadgets. This has led to people migrating from agriculture sector to other sectors in search of better options. This has to be corrected and people have to be made aware about new technologies that are very helpful in assisting them in agricultural works. This project is for farmers whose fields are not close to their home, which is case with majority of farmers, so that they can easily monitor field status from remote place and don’t have to take multiple tris for issues concerning irrigation etc. This project uses NodeMCU to facilitate the communication of data from sensors to servers, from where it is sent to mobile application through Blynk platform for user’s convenience.
