Android based Automated Irrigation System using Raspberry Pi

Nowadays, adopting an optimized irrigation system has become a necessity due to the lack of the world water resource. The system has a distributed wireless network of soil-moisture and temperature sensors. This project focuses on a smart irrigation system which is cost effective. As the technology is growing and changing rapidly, Wireless sensing Network (WSN) helps to upgrade the technology where automation is playing important role in human life. Automation allows us to control various appliances automatically. DC motor based vehicle is designed for irrigation purpose. The objectives of this paper were to control the water supply to each plant automatically depending on values of temperature and soil moisture sensors. Mechanism is done such that soil moisture sensor electrodes are inserted in front of each soil. It also monitors the plant growth using various parameters like height and width. Android app.
