Smart Irrigation System Using Wireless Sensor Network with Cooja and Contiki

Automated irrigation systems are important for improving agricultural productivity, and such systems can be improved through the use of wireless sensor networks (WSN) for detecting and relaying critical information including location-specific temperature, humidity, light, etc. These measurements can then be used to produce more accurate data-driven decisions. This paper presents a smart irrigation system integrating wireless sensor network and using a low power and lossy network (RPL) protocol. Irrigation supply decisions are made in real time, based on data simulated using the Cooja simulator and Contiki operating system.
