 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

We are feeling glad to present our report on “IoT Based Smart Irrigation System Using
NodeMCU ESP8266 & Adafruit IO”. We have divided the topic into various sub-topics, so that the
topics can be arranged and understood properly. The topics are arranged in proper sequence to ensure
smooth flow of the topic.
We are thankful and We would like to express our special thanks of gratitude to our Faculty guides
who gave us golden opportunity to do this wonderful project on the topic “IoT Based Smart
Irrigation System Using NodeMCU ESP8266 & Adafruit IO” which also helped us in doing a
lot of Research work and for his incredible support and encouragement that he has extended.
We are also thankful to our friends and other staff members for their assistance and guidance.

INTRODUCTION:
We express our sincere gratitude towards our guide Prof.
Manish Patel for their constant help, encouragement,
suggestions and inspirations throughout the project work.
Without their invaluable advice, suggestions and
assistants it would not have been possible for us to
complete this project work.
We wish to thank the Electrical Engineering Department of
Government Engineering College, Palanpur for their
sympathetic co-operation. We are very thankful to our
classmates, Our family and our friends who supported the
project.
In this project, we are building an IoT based smart
irrigation System using Node MCU, Moisture
sensor, and LDR. It will automatically sprinkle the
water to plants when the moisture value goes below a
particular value. It will also send the moisture data to
Adafruit IO Server to keep track of the land condition.
Our Project will focus on modern way of smart
Irrigation system
Design Thinking:
Design engineering is general term that covers multiple
engineering disciplines including civil, mechanical,
electrical engineering.
The uniting concept is a focus on applying the engineering
design process; in which engineering develop new product
or processes. With a primary emphasis on functional utility.

Idea:
Many farmers already start using the Greenhouse
farming and Smart Irrigation System. Emerging IoT
technologies and sensors are used to develop the
irrigation system that can automatically supply
water according to climate conditions like moisture
value and temperature.
AEIOU FORMAT:
The AEIOU Format is the brief of Activity, Environment,
Interaction, Objects and Users. This subject is the brief
observation on the AEIOU.

A=ACTIVITY

1. Farming
2. Water Supply
3. Moisture Moniter
4. Autometic Temprature sensing
E=ENVIRONMENT
The surroundings or condition in which a person, animal or
plant lives or operates.

1. Farm
2. Land
3. Irrigation Area
I=INTERACTION

1. Farmer
2. Corporae Farmers
3. Agricultural peoples
O=OBJECTS

1.Soil Moisture sensor

2.Solenoid valve
3.LED
4.Relay module
5.Node mcu
U=USERS

1.Farmer
2.Agricultural Company
3.Modern Irrigation users
4.Water suppliers
FULL IMAGE OF AEIOU CANVAS:
MIND MAPPING:
We made mind map using some commands and ideas. In
mind mapping sheet, we describe about Problems,
Environment, Safety, Facility etc.
IDEATION CANVAS:
People
 1. Workers
2. Farmers
3. Water suppliars
4. Corporates

Activites
1.Water supply to plants
2.Smart Irrigation
3.Water supply according to climate
4.Water saving system
SITUATION/CONTEXT/LOCATION:
In the above two section, we found people and
what all various activities they perform. In this
section we need to find in which situation do
they do this activity which means we need to
ask question, When? Then we need to find the
context i.e. the questions like Why and how
needs to be answered. That is why and how
this activity has been done. Thirdly we need to
answer the question where i.e. where will this
activity happen, that is at which location. This
was one the most interesting section. The
following shows some of the examples of this
section. Which are shown below as well:
1. Farming
2. Agricultural
3. Garden
PROPS/Possible Solutions:
Props are the keywords which may spark in our
mentality by thinking of some problems which may
take place by combining randomly people, activity
and situation/context/location section in the ideation
canvas. Props are the keywords which may have
problems /issues or solution keywords. But here,
we don’t have to get wedged to any problem or any
solution. The following shows some of the examples
of this section:
1. IoT based
2. Relay module
3. Autometic soil moisture sense
EMPATHY CANVAS:
The capability to recognize and share the thoughts of
another.
USER:

1. Farmers
2. Company
3. Garden workers
4. Irrigation workers

STAKEHOLDERS:
Now we had to discuss about the stakeholders
related to user of the project are as below:
1. Government Sector
2. Private Company
3. Government APMC
4. Garden workers
5. School and Collages
6. Residential People
Activities:
In this section we need to write the activities of user
as well as stakeholders. The following shows the
activities of users as well as stakeholders:
1. Smart irrigation
2. Modern water supply system
3. Autometic sensing
4. Water saving technology
5. IoT based system
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENTCANVAS:
Product Experience:
1. Quick respoce

2. More attractive

3. Water saving system

4. Benificial for plant life

Product Functions:
1. Easy to use

2. Auto water supply according to climate change

Product Features:
1. IoT based
