Arduino UNO based Smart Irrigation System using GSM Module, Soil Moisture Sensor, Sun Tracking System and Inverter

Abstract

In this paper, Arduino based Smart Irrigation System using GSM Module and Sun Tracking Solar system has been explored. This system is hoped to be very convenient and affordable for the people of rural areas. The module being targeted for the large population of the rural sector is hoped to be a huge contribution to the community. To meet the demand of efficient irrigation system, this paper presents the design and implementation of a low cost yet flexible smart irrigation system where with the help of cell phone the status of the submersible pump can be observed. The design is based on a standalone Arduino UNO board where the communication between the cell phone and the Arduino UNO board is wireless. The system is designed to be low cost and scalable allowing variety of devices to be controlled with minimum changes to its core. Thus the System is hoped to outperform current smart irrigation systems. It is believed that this paper will play a vital role for the rural people of the under developed and developing countries.
