Abstract
The agriculture sector is biggest sector of India it provides employment to 50% work force of India. Each and every sector of India is directly or indirectly connected to agriculture sector, despite of this the development in technology is very less. Farmers are still using conventional techniques for farming, the developed technologies are either expensive or does not required by farmer. In this paper a Smart irrigation system is discussed which is economical and have great impact on irrigation system. The system controlled in two modes first is manual and second is automatic control for controlling the operation of water pump. The pump is controlled by using Atmega328P IC which is programmable in nature using relay as switch and taking the feedback from soil moisture sensor and rain sensor for controlling the water pump. The manual control is done by using HTML webpage by BOLT IoT module.
Highlights
The cloud control technology is developing with fast pace and entering each and every sector and drastically improving the condition of sector[1]
A BOLT IoT module is used for receiving commands from user and transmitting data to cloud server for analysing, the BOLT module is connected with Atmega328P for controlling the system which is further connected with soil moisture sensor which send data regarding water contain of soil for controlling water pump and a rain sensor for sensing rain, if sensor senses rain control unit stops the water pump for saving energy and saving crop from excess water
The BOLT provides a cloud platform for save data online which can be accessed by user anywhere with internet connectivity[8]
Summary
The cloud control technology is developing with fast pace and entering each and every sector and drastically improving the condition of sector[1]. The cloud and IoT technology in recent year entered agriculture and by using these two technologies the farmer is increasing production and reducing cost. In this paper a system is discussed which uses both cloud and IoT technologies for controlling the irrigation system[2][3]. A BOLT IoT module is used for receiving commands from user and transmitting data to cloud server for analysing, the BOLT module is connected with Atmega328P for controlling the system which is further connected with soil moisture sensor which send data regarding water contain of soil for controlling water pump and a rain sensor for sensing rain, if sensor senses rain control unit stops the water pump for saving energy and saving crop from excess water. By calculating the current flow we can detect the moisture of soil[7]
