Smart irrigation with embedded system

This paper proposes intelligent and smart Irrigation system which can be used for controlling the watering or irrigation of flowering plants. It controls the irrigation of plants automatically where the need of human intervention can be reduced. This mainly focused on wastage of water, which is a major concern of modern era. It also aids time saving, cost effectiveness, environmental protection, low maintenance and operating cost and efficient irrigation service. Raspberry Pi (open source) is used in the design of the prototype model in making the system compact and sustainable. The system has sensor which measures the moisture of the soil and switches relay which controls solenoid valve according to the requirement. The model demonstrated gave expected results at the different moisture levels.
