Abstract
Over the last year, the Internet of Things (IoT) has been applied in different areas one of them is the agricultural area. The use of Internet of Things in agricultural area is principally for automating the water pumps, fans, light bulbs, among others resources. Thus, in this paper, we develop and build a prototype for automation of low-cost irrigation systems based on Internet of Things. In this way, our prototype, which is based on the use of Arduino Mega 2560, proposes to turn up small and medium gardens into smart gardens in order to improve the production process as well as optimize natural resources like water and energy. The prototype works in conjunction with the aid of a mesh of different sensors such as humidity sensor, soil moisture sensor, and temperature sensor. The measures provided by these sensors are management in real-time through a computer or mobile device over an internet connection.
