Smart Automated Irrigation through IoT Technology

This work presents the development and implementation of an IoT-based automatic irrigation system designed to optimize water usage in agricultural settings. The system integrates a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) with the Blynk platform to enable real-time monitoring and control of irrigation parameters, including soil moisture, water level, and ambient light. Using an Arduino UNO microcontroller and an ESP-8266 Wi-Fi module, the system collects and processes sensor data to automate irrigation based on predefined thresholds. The Blynk platform facilitates remote data visualization and system control through customizable dashboards, allowing for both automatic and manual adjustments. The proposed system demonstrates a cost-effective solution for improving irrigation efficiency and reducing water waste, with implications for sustainable agricultural practices.
