A Smart IoT Fuzzy Irrigation System

Abstract

This paper proposes a novel fuzzy computational algorithm for IoT smart irrigation systems. It describes all the possible sensors, actuators and microcontrollers that could be used in the irrigation systems. Based on these sensors a novel system architecture is presented. The irrigation system continuously monitoring air temperature and humidity, and ground moisture. The ground humidity sensors are interspersed all over the field. The measurements are send in a microcontroller that applies a fuzzy computational algorithm and decides whether to open a servo valve or not. All the data collected from the microcontroller are sent to a cloud database for statistical information and processing.
