Proposal of solution for automated irrigation system

One possible solution for automated irrigation system is presented in this paper. Proposed solution allows flexible control of the three electromagnetic valves for releasing water to agricultural fields. It provides possibility for users to set up time schedule for irrigation, where closing of the valves can be scheduled based on duration of irrigation or amount of water that is released. System is implemented with Libelium Waspmote open source platform, supported by GPRS communication module. Configuration and control of the system can be performed manually, on the main control unit, or remotely, by commands sent over the SMS service. Information about current configuration and amount of released water are sent to user by SMS report and to remote server for further analysis and graphical presentation. Proposed solution provides easy and flexible control of the irrigation process and provides optimal water consumption.
