Intelligent agriculture system using low energy and based on the use of the internet of things

The field of smart agriculture is ranked among the top areas that uses the internet of things (IoT), whose goal is to increase the quantity and quality of agricultural productivity. The aim of this work is to realize a new device that will be cost-effective, reliable, and autonomous using a solar panel to provide electricity in large-scale agricultural fields, ESP32 to interconnect IoT sensors and the long range (LoRa) data transmission protocol to guarantee connectivity in places where there is no internet, whose objective is to monitor and irrigate agricultural fields only when there is a need for water. The data received by the sensors is sent to mobile app users via the Blynk cloud. The performance of our new approach is measured in terms of energy savings. This new model of irrigation and smart monitoring will improve the efficiency of farming techniques.
