Smart Village Using IoT

Abstract

The main objective of this project is to develop an automation irrigation system using an node MCU board with Internet being remotely controlled by any Android OS smart phone. So that agricultural lands are irrigates automatically without physical present of farmer. As technology is advancing so irrigations are also getting smarter. Modern irrigation pumps are gradually shifting from conventional switches to centralized control system, involving remote controlled switches. Presently conventional pump switches located in different parts of the agriculture land are makes it difficult for the user to go near them to operate and physically present on those areas. Even more it becomes more difficult for the elderly or physically handicapped people to do so. Remote controlled irrigation automation system provides a most modern solution with smart phones for those persons who want to do agriculture without physically present on the space. In order to achieve this, a IOT(internet of things) module is interfaced to the node MCU board at the receiver end while on the transmitter end, a GUI application on the cell phone sends ON/OFF commands to the receiver where loads are connected . By touching the specified location on the GUI, the loads can be turned ON/OFF remotely through this technology. The loads are operated by IOT board through relay module. Along with this we use a soil sensor. Which detect whether soil is dry or wet. When soil condition is dry soil sensor give command to IOT module to start the pump. When soil becomes wet it gives command to stop the water pump. It works in accordance with the soil condition. This project is complete smart project for advanced irrigation. An automated irrigation system for efficient water management and intruder detection system has been proposed. Soil Parameters like soil moisture, pH, Humidity are measured and the Pressure sensor and the sensed values are displayed in LCD. The intruder detection system is done with the help of PIR sensor where the birds are repelled from entering into the field. The GSM module has been used to establish a communication link between the farmer and the field. The current field status will be intimated to the farmer through SMS and also updated in the webpage. The farmer can access the server about the field condition anytime, anywhere thereby reducing the man power and time.
