Smart Agriculture IoT for a Greener Tomorrow
Automatic soil moisture monitoring and irrigation system using Raspberry Pi and IoT technology.
Illustrative readings shown for demonstration. Physical hardware calibration is in progress.
Why Smart Irrigation?
Smart irrigation helps in efficient water usage, healthier crops, and reduces manual effort. It uses real-time soil moisture data to water plants only when needed.
Conserve Water
Avoids unnecessary watering and saves water resources.
Healthier Plants
Maintains optimal soil moisture for better growth.
Less Manual Work
Automatic monitoring and irrigation control.
Scalable Solution
Can be used in farms, gardens, and smart agriculture systems.
Project Overview
An affordable smart irrigation system that monitors soil moisture and automatically waters plants when the soil becomes too dry.

How It Works
From sensing soil moisture to automatically watering your plants, our system works in a simple and efficient way.
1. Sense
Soil moisture sensor measures the moisture level in the soil.
2. Convert
ADS1115 converts the analog signal to digital data.
3. Process
Raspberry Pi runs a Python program to analyze the data.
4. Control
Relay module switches the pump ON or OFF.
5. Irrigate
5V DC water pump delivers water when needed.
Different Crops, Different Needs
Each crop has different soil moisture requirements. Smart irrigation helps maintain the right moisture level for better growth and higher yield.
Tomato
Lettuce
Chili
Cucumber
Spinach
