Remote Access of Irrigation System using Cloud-Technology: Smart Irrigation

Abstract

Smart farming is a type of technology that focuses on allowing agricultural businesses to utilize advanced technology – such as smart sensors, the cloud, and the internet of things (IoT) to measure, monitor, automate, and analyze activities. Precision farming is another term for smart farming. Software controls it, and sensors keep an eye on it. Smart farming is becoming increasingly important as the demand for higher crop yields, the need to use natural resources efficiently, the increasing use and sophistication of information and communication technology, and the growing need for climate-smart agriculture all contribute to its rise in importance. In this paper, a smart irrigation system is demonstrated utilizing the Node MCU and the Internet of Things with cloud technologies. Online Adafruit IO Cloud Service is used for cloud services.
