SMART SOIL MOISTURE MANAGEMENT

Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) is an environment of inter-connected physical objects over the internet. The ‘thing’ in IoT may comprise of a wide range of objects that are assigned IP address and can collects and sends data over a network without human involvement. Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the promising technologies used to connect, manage and control smart objects connected to the Internet. IoT's main goal is to smarter and more meaningful management and control of physical objects around us and improving life quality by offering economic, secure and entertaining livelihoods. In the development of smart automation system IOT application plays major role. Various tech giants have provided various devices like Google home, Amazon echo which allows you to control lighting in your home, play music, read news and various other features which are controllable with voice. The main aim of this project is to determine the moisture content of the soil on a regular interval and update the value of the soil moisture over the cloud. Upon receiving the update of the moisture of the soil a particular level is set for the determination of the condition for the on and off of the motor for the retention of the moisture of the soil and shuts down the motor as the moisture level is retained to a particular level. Data that is acquired from the sensor is sent to the ThingSpeak API for the graphical representation and real time simulation. Also an mobile application is used for the purpose of displaying the sensor data and the message for the taking the necessary step to cope with the situation by triggering the alarm and sends an Email to the concerned person whose E-mail id is already put in the application.
