IoT Based Smart Agriculture and Animal Detection System

Abstract

Abstract: Agriculture, the science and art of cultivating plants, plays a pivotal role in the evolution of a primary agricultural economy. More than 50% of the population in India depends upon farming. Hurdles concerning agriculture have significantly retarded the growth in this sector. The most significant obstacle incurred by the farmers is inefficient crop management and crop raiding by external sources, especially the human-wildlife conflict. A cumulative approach including the application of “Internet of Things” and traditional farming techniques, along with methods to barricade crop destruction has been elaborately highlighted by way of integrated systems. Hence this proposed module targets at making agriculture smart by proposing a device detects the presence of any living being by using either PIR Sensor or Ultrasonic Sensor, especially animals around the land to be cultivated, along with smart irrigation control and real-time data analysis which is also inclusive of smart warehouse management parameters like- temperature, humidity and pressure measured by using (DHT22 Sensor and BMP180 Sensor). This data may either be visualized by using the Blynk Software or received in the form of messages through the GSM Module. To combat the ruckus caused by animals, detection of their presence along with a laser security system has been provided in the proposed system. Efforts have been made to help the farmer in rectifying multiple issues at once. Keywords: PIR Sensor, DHT22 Sensor, BMP180 Sensor, Blynk App, GSM Module
