Super Smart Irrigation System using Internet of Things

Abstract

In this generation where technology is advancing rapidly, the field of agriculture and farming requires the application of the latest technology to make the life of farmers much simpler. The primary purpose of automating the irrigation setup is to enable remote control and monitoring of the status of the setup even when farmer is away from the location. This paper proposes a new system with the use of advanced sensors and a GSM module to provide SMS acknowledgment whenever there is any critical action that is initiated during the process. This includes water being pumped in excess to a crop, there is too much of sunlight for a sustained period and many other critical situations. The farmer will then have opportunity to take necessary action.
