With the ‘smart irrigation system’, you can automate your whole irrigation system in addition to its other features. This Internet of Things-based irrigation system is being built with the help of an ESP8266 Node MCU Module and a DHT11 Sensor. In addition to automatically adjusting watering schedules to match soil moisture levels, this system will also send data on the land’s condition to the Thing Speak server. A water pump will be part of the system, and it will be used to sprinkle water on the ground in a way that is dependent on the moisture level, temperature and humidity level of the land. Such a crop will need a soil moisture of roughly 50–55%, and we have previously built a system that is quite similar to an ‘automatic plant irrigation system’. This system delivers notifications on mobile devices, but not on the Internet of Things cloud. Therefore, when the moisture content of the soil decreases to less than 50%, in order to sprinkle the water, the motor pump will switch on automatically, and it will do so until the moisture content reaches 55%, at which time it will shut off. Data from the sensors will be sent to the Thing Speak server at regular intervals, allowing it to be monitored from anywhere in the world. In addition to this, we are integrating machine learning into this process in order to forecast the future scope by making use of historical data and the random forest method.
