Abstract
• The "IoT-Based Smart Agriculture System" represents a transformative solution
for modern agriculture, harnessing the power of the Internet of Things (IoT) to
enhance crop cultivation efficiency and sustainability.

• This innovative system leverages soil moisture sensors, water pumps, and the
Node MCU to create an intelligent and automated farming environment.

• A key element of this system is the soil moisture sensor, which continuously
monitors the moisture levels in the soil. When the soil moisture drops below a
certain threshold, indicating a need for irrigation, the system activates the water
pump.

• This process ensures that crops receive the precise amount of water required for
optimal growth while conserving valuable resources. Furthermore, this smart
agriculture system includes a data transmission component using the NodeMCU.

• The NodeMCU collects data from the soil moisture sensors and transmits it to a
web server. This real-time data enables farmers to remotely monitor and manage
the irrigation process, making timely and informed decisions about their crops'
water requirements.
Introduction
• The "IoT-Based Smart Agriculture System" is a groundbreaking innovation that
integrates Internet of Things (IoT) technology into modern agriculture,
revolutionizing the way crops are cultivated.

• This cutting-edge system utilizes a range of advanced components, including

soil moisture sensors, water pumps, and the NodeMCU, to create an intelligent
and automated farming environment.

• This memonizes modern farming practices by harnessing the power of the

Internet of Things (IoT).

• Through continuous monitoring of soil moisture levels and real-time data

transmission, this system offers a transformative approach to crop cultivation.

• By ensuring precise and timely irrigation, conserving water resources,

reducing manual labor, and enhancing crop yield, it paves the way for a more
sustainable and efficient future in agriculture.

Hardware Components
1. Node MCU: The Node MCU is the central component responsible for collecting
data from the soil moisture sensor, controlling the water pump, and enabling
data transmission.

2. Soil Moisture Sensor : This sensor continuously monitors the moisture levels in
the soil, providing real-time data on the soil's moisture content.

3. Water Pump (DC): The water pump is used to deliver water to the crops when
the soil moisture falls below a certain threshold, ensuring they receive the right
amount of water for optimal growth.
4. Relay Module: The relay module is employed to control the water pump. When
the soil moisture sensor detects low moisture levels, the NodeMCU triggers the
relay module, which in turn activates the water pump.

5. LED Indicator: An LED indicator can be used to provide visual feedback, such as
indicating when the system is actively watering the crops.

6. Rechargeable Battery and Battery Charging Module: These components ensure

that the system remains operational even in the absence of a constant power
source. The battery is recharged through the battery charging module.
7. USB Cable: The USB cable connects the NodeMCU to a power source or computer
for programming and data transmission.

8. Buzzer: A buzzer can be incorporated to provide audible alerts or notifications in

response to specific events, like low battery or system malfunctions.
Sofware components
1. Arduino IDE:
The Arduino Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is used to program the
NodeMCU and define the system's behavior based on the sensor data.

2. Embedded C/C++:
The NodeMCU is typically programmed using embedded C/C++ to interact with
the hardware components, read data from the soil moisture sensor, and control
the water pump and other peripherals.

3. ThingSpeak Web Server:

Data collected from the soil moisture sensor is transmitted to a ThingSpeak web
server. This server stores the data and provides a platform for remote monitoring
and control.
 Working Principle:
• The soil moisture sensor continuously monitors the soil moisture levels.
• When the moisture level falls below a predefined threshold, the NodeMCU
receives this data from the sensor.
• The NodeMCU, based on the sensor data, triggers the relay module to activate
the water pump.
• The water pump starts irrigating the crops until the soil moisture reaches the
desired level.
• Simultaneously, the NodeMCU sends the sensor data to the ThingSpeak web
server for storage and remote access.
• Users can remotely monitor the soil moisture levels and irrigation process
through the ThingSpeak platform using a computer or mobile device.
• The system can provide additional alerts and feedback through the LED
indicator and buzzer.
