Smart Automated Farming System using IOT and Solar Panel

Present work focuses on need of automation in farming by using IOT technology. Automation of farming envisages monitoring and controlling of various parameters which could be helpful in increasing productivity. The proposed system provides a technological solution to the various problems like, maintenance of water requirements, humidity level, maintenance of proper temperature, and proper availability of light for sophisticated plants, fire alert and to keep a check on unwanted entry in the farming lands including timely and sufficient supply of electricity. This hardware provides an effective and efficient solution to the defined problems in Indian farming system by using node MCU Wi-Fi module. Different sensors like humidity sensor, soil moisture sensor, PIR sensor, fire sensor, light sensor and temperature sensor have been used for monitoring and controlling of various problems technologically. In proposed system a Wi-Fi module has been used which automatically informs the farmer about the water requirement, site temperature, humidity and moisture, light, fire alert and about the unwanted occupancy or encroachment by displaying real time data which can be seen and accessed over internet using IOT technology from anywhere in the world. System is equipped with solar panel which provides power backup to the system even in the absence of power supply. We have used five different sensors on three different plants with different environmental conditions and the performances of different sensors are found to be upto the desired expectations.
