Web based service to monitor automatic irrigation system for the agriculture field using sensors

Abstract

The paper describes the automatic irrigation system using the Arduino microcontroller with grove moisture sensor and water flow sensor. The communication will be established using the Zigbee protocol and the control will be sent based on the moisture level of the soil using Arduino microcontroller. The two xbee radios's used in the network will be treated as master and slave in combination with the Arduino microcontroller. Here when a particular moisture level is reached, depending on the value of the moisture level water flow will be allowed in the pipe and the flow range, water pressure will be updated along with the time in a database and also displayed in the web portal. The owner of the agricultural field can anytime check the moisture level and the motor status. The motor's functionality status will also be a sent to the farmer's mobile using GSM.
