GSM and Wi-Fi Module Based Advanced Smart Irrigation Monitoring System using IoT

This paper proposes an Automated Irrigation System in Farming using Internet of Things (IoT) which aids farmers in acquiring information on mobile phone regarding temperature and soil moisture for efficient environment monitoring. This will promote the gross yield and quality of the production. An irrigation system built on automation technology saves the farmer’s expenses and electricity, and yield time. The technology of IoT has made the life of ordinary people easier by introducing revolutionary changes in every field, where the changes include the automation of tools. IoT defines the system of physical thing rooted with software, sensors as well as additional technologies. The design methodology of Automated Irrigation System in Farming using IoT-based devices is gradually enhancing the agriculture production, enhancing it, making it economical environmental-friendly, and decreasing waste production to conserve the yield. It is designed with Arduino Technology integrated with different sensors and poses a GSM module for SMS alerts to a specified mobile number and a Wi-Fi module producing a live data feed acquired online from Thingsspeak.com. The prototype developed has been tested on live agriculture fields, which gives the highest precision of 98% in data feeds.
