A Resource Efficient IoT-based Distributed Overhead Smart Irrigation System

Abstract

This report presents an IoT development smart irrigation system technology that use for water management and energy saving in agriculture. The system works with ESP32 and multiple sensors, including soil moisture sensor, temperature sensor, humidity sensor, rain sensor, and Pir sensor that provide the data from land. A motor pump controlled by L298L motor driver also store data in SD module that collect the sensor value and the project get the energy source from 12v solar panel that make the system stable. The system has an OLED display that presents the system activities in agricultural environments. The IoT-based irrigation system connects with Firebase so that all the sensor data present in real-time also control the soil moisture value and plant categories by using web and mobile application. This irrigation system develops on IoT which works and controlled from anywhere so that user can get access to monitor and get the control to setting up the system any time anywhere. Developing a web and mobile application their user can select the plant categories and create the plant categories, also monitor the sensors real-time data and controls the moisture and motor any time. The methodology employed real-time data aquation, cloud integration and local store also automated decision making to make the project more optimize in irrigation. The conclusion demonstrates improve water saving and electricity saving cost efficiency and user friendly. Cloud base realtime data helps to monitor and control the system. Local data storage helps to collect or logged the data so that the data might not miss while poor connection or after losing network. The system is automated so that it makes the setup environment itself and controls the system automatically. It has Esp32 microcontroller that work with low power and built-in Wi-Fi so that the system works perfectly over Wi-Fi also it has external power source solar Panel and 12V power source that makes energy saving and work all days. This project focus on agriculture that works IoT-based irrigation system to reduce the cost and save the water also save the energy that is very challenging now a days. It delivers water only, when necessary, then automatically stop the water supply. By adding real-time monitoring system automated irrigation and give the plant actual water moisture that helps to grow up healthy
