IOT Based Smart Agricultural System

This project is based on Internet of Things (IOT) which aims to provide automatic irrigation system and real time monitoring of soil moisture for efficient environment monitoring which will enable them to do smart farming and increase their overall yield and quality of products .This system measures moisture of soil using soil moisture sensors which are interfaced with controller Arduino Mega. This system checks the moisture of soil regularly and if moisture of soil goes below the threshold range then controller turned on the solenoid valve automatically and the fields start irrigating and controller also sent sms alert to farmer and if moisture of soil is in between threshold range then solenoid valve turned off automatically. And if moisture of soil above the threshold range then solenoid valve is remains off. These sensor readings are sent wirelessly to the cloud over the internet using ESP8266. Thing Speak, IOT Geek, etc. are various IoT cloud platforms available on which the readings are displayed, visualized and stored securely. In this way, sensors reading are stored digitally and is easily accessed and analyzed by the farmer remotely from any part of the world regardless of place, time and device. SMS/Mail alerts containing the moisture information will be sent to the farmer during any critical condition. This all is displayed on the LCD display module. This all is also seen in IOT platform where it shows information of Moisture and water level with date and time.
