IoT based smart sprinkling system

摘要

One of the main problems facing modern cities is water scarcity. The increasing level of water wastage in the irrigation system is an alarming problem. According to the 2030 vision, a reduction in water wastage is sought. Moreover, in this era home appliances using the Internet of Things (IoT) applications is highly needed for efficiency purposes. This represents a strong motivation to create a simple device to achieve water efficiency. Home sprinkler water flow systems do not take into consideration the current state of the surroundings, which lead to high wastage of water. In this research paper, a conceptual smart traveling sprinkler composed of a water pump and a motion motor is proposed. The suggested circuit design includes sensors that are capable of detecting soil conditions, such as moisture level and object proximity. The device power is provided by a solar panel that is connected to the water tank, which incorporates a level indicator. The method of control and the monitoring through a mobile phone is used to enter the field size, duration etc. A series of pushbuttons and LCDs can also be integrated. The desired objective is the reduction of water consumption, and this brings us one step closer to achieving the 2030 vision.
