Adafruit IO Based Smart Irrigation System using MQTT Protocol for Urban Farming

Abstract

Freshwater is needed for irrigation and nutrient supply to plants to make up for the lack of rainfall. Agricultural activities consume more than 70% of the available freshwater. This emphasizes the importance of responsible management of water for irrigation using smart Internet of Things (IoT) based agricultural practices combined with irrigation-related technologies The purpose of this research article is to integrate Internet of Things (IoT) soil profile data to help you make the best watering decisions. In the proposed setup we have presented an IoT-based model for optimizing the water resource on a demand basis, especially for the areas where water is a scarce commodity that can be monitored remotely by the user node. This smart management helps to dynamically allocate the resource utilization hence helping us to attain resource optimization. Motivated by this concern this study focuses on a smart soil moisture monitoring system by remote sensing the moisture level of the target patch. The advanced soil profile monitoring-based remote sensing unit is installed which explores the Internet of Things (IoT) network.
