Abstract
India is the country of villages, and agriculture plays an important role for the development of the country. Water is an essential resource in agriculture, and its optimal management plays a crucial role. An irrigation system is a method of slowly dripping water onto the roots of a plant, the surface of the soil, or directly into the root area. However, the market price of the system turned out to be expensive for a small area. Thus, our aim is to devise a cost effective, smart irrigation system that operates based on the real-time moisture content of the soil. This project uses a master–slave architecture, where each NodeMCU-ESP8266 acts as a slave, and the soil moisture information collected by each sensor is finally sent to the Raspberry Pi, which acts as a master. The Raspberry Pi controls the solenoid valve according to the moisture content.
