Study on farmland irrigation remote monitoring system based on ZigBee

Currently, automation technology has got great development. However, the farmland irrigation in our country still adopts the extensive manual operation mode which will result in wasting of water resource and human resource. According to statistics, use of irrigation water was only 45% in China. This paper mainly adopts ZigBee and configuration technology to design a remote irrigation control system. The system of acquisition node is powered by solar energy while the coordinator is powered by AC 220V. After the test in the test farmland, it can accurately collect the soil temperature, humidity, and air temperature and humidity. Water pump operation is accurate and solar power is stable and reliable. System test runs without any fault.
