LoRa and IoT Based Smart Irrigation System

Abstract

The use of Internet of Things (IoT) and LoRa technologies to the implementation of smart farming practices with the purpose of improving agriculture. The goal is to enhance yield by reducing human participation in agricultural operations while keeping high accuracy and using minimum electricity. To do this, we developed a method to manage the flow of water into the fields depending on soil moisture levels, which are critical for crops. Temperature and humidity sensors are utilized to decide what the farmer needs to do. Using LoRa technology, which can reach up to 20 km in rural regions and up to 8 km in urban areas, the detected data is transferred over vast distances. Key Words: Internet of Things (IoT), LoRa technology.
