Abstract

AbstractIn this day and age, wastage of water in the agriculture sector has aroused wide concern among human beings. The development of an irrigation system is necessary for agriculture to produce an irrigation system using modern technologies such as IoT and sensors which will improve the efficiency of water usage and further increase the crops yield that fulfil the food demand of humans and livestock. Hence, this project focuses on a smart irrigation system that is capable to overmaster the water pump through voice control and IoT applications with the aid of sensors. The soil moisture sensor will detect the water level of the soil to determine the automatic activation of the water pump. The temperature and humidity sensor which senses the ambient temperature and air moisture will assist farmers to make a proper decision when controlling the water pump manually. Moreover, the Internet of Things (IoT) platform is applied in this system that allows farmers to operate the irrigation process remotely with voice command through the android application and Google Assistant. ThingSpeak which is an analytic online platform aids farmers to visualize the real-time data stored in the cloud. Therefore, the improvement of the system with advanced tech will increase the production rate of crops and reduce the cost of water consumption and human errors.KeywordsIrrigation systemThingSpeakIoTArduinoBlynk
