A remote-controlled vehicle functions on both automatic and manual modes, for various agriculture processes like spraying, cutting, weeding etc. The controller keeps monitoring the temperature, humidity, soil condition through sensors using Arduino board and in case of any discrepancy send a SMS notification as well as a notification on the application developed for the same to the farmer’s smartphone using Wi-Fi/3G/4G and accordingly supplies water to the field. Low-cost and low-power are the key factors to make any IoT network useful and acceptable to the farmers.
