IoT and Cloud hinged Smart Irrigation System for Urban and Rural Farmers employing MQTT Protocol

A rapid change in the technologies can be seen in the fields of sensing, monitoring, communicating and actuating applications due to the evolution and development in the Internet of Things. Making use of this development in the era of polluted environment and evaporating agriculture, we designed a system to monitor the state of soil with sensors connected to Node MCU by analyzing and predicting the data with the help of the WEKA tool by using Raspberry Pi 3 as a broker for MQTT protocol. The key pay off of this system is to avoid human tampering with a low-cost design using IoT and MQTT to get Volumetric Water Content (VWC) in the soil. It is with the hope that this research can provide the current modernity in IoT for the most sophisticated research improvements.
