Automatic Irrigation System Using Android

Abstract

Laos is an agricultural based country. As agriculture is the main source of food for any country, it is important to have a proper irrigation system. This paper shows a design of automatic irrigation system based on android application using Raspberry Pi microcontroller, soil moisture and temperature sensor to help a famer to control and monitor a farm. This work facilitates the farm irrigation by switching the pump motor ON/OFF through android cell phone. This automatic irrigation system has a low cost and can be affordable by many Lao farmers. The study shows that the system is useful to provide optimal amount of water for increase the productivity of crop.
