Smart irrigation systems using sensors and GSM

Abstract

In India agriculture plays a major role in development of food products, but the Indian farmers face a lot of difficulty in doing agriculture, it can be resolved using this technique. The existing system includes monitoring temperature and humidity in agricultural field through sensors using CC3200 single chip. In this paper, irrigation automation with electronic sensors and its control with smartphones and through sms were aimed. In this context, temperature and soil humidity measurements of the area irrigated were obtained by Digital humidity and temperature sensor, soil moisture sensor and rain sensor. The Arduino UNO (Microconted according to obtained measurement values. Along with Ardruino controller) was utilized for accessing values of these parameters and controlling the proposed irrigation system using Smartphones. The irrigation system would automatically be working UNO a GSM Module is used to connect the system with smartphones so that the irrigation system can be remotely connected.
