Abstract

Smart Agriculture; Farm Irrigation System Using IoT

Highlights

  • The term internet of things (IoT), which was formulated by Kevin Ashten in 1999, has become more common and more usable [1]

  • The client unit is considered the basic brick in designing this system, because it is characterized with an electric connection independent from the controlling center in the Adafruit server by Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol

  • Most of the recent studies concerning smart irrigation systems reached at the fact that quantities of water that are given to the plants, should be rationalized

Summary

Introduction

The term internet of things (IoT), which was formulated by Kevin Ashten in 1999, has become more common and more usable [1]. The internet of things gives human the capability to control things remotely without the need for existence in the same place or near a device Such technologies are useful in smart houses, sensing and monitoring instruments that are connected to the internet. Modern technology has been applied in many fields of life including agriculture, when modern agriculture depended on the automatic systems that are controlled and monitored electronically along all the agricultural season This technology contributed in increasing the production and improve it in addition to avoid waste of consumed water and protect the soil from salinity, the matter which will be reflected on the health of the plant. All parts of the system may work separately or together in order to secure and upload moisture data to one of the monitoring Adafruit servers via the best fast protocols dedicated to this process, which is MQTT. The software was uploaded to the ESP board via the USB port integrated with this board
