 Abstract

India is mainly an agricultural country. Water is the main resource for Agriculture. Currently,
agriculture accounts for 83% of the total water consumption in India. By using various smart
agricultural equipment, farmers have gained an upper hand over the process of raising livestock
and growing crops. This paper proposes a based on IOT smart farming system. This paper's
main role is making use of developing technology IoT and smart agriculture using automation.
In this system water availability to crops is monitored through sensors and as per need watering
is done through controlled irrigation. This project narrates how irrigation can be handled
smartly using IoT. In this proposed system we are using various sensors like soil moisture
sensor, temperature and humidity sensor, motion, rainwater sensor which senses the various
parameters of the soil and measures the exact moisture level in the soil. The main aim of this
project is to control the water supply and monitor the plants through a Smartphone. This

Introduction
1.1Introduction
Irrigation plays an important role in agriculture. Smart irrigation means not only consuming
less water it also providing water supply depending on the requirement. The IoT system has
also recently given a strong imposing on agriculture. The IoT is a key element for the
integration of scalable systems such name as software and hardware, cost-effective, self-
sustainable, and smart decision for smart farming. So, the automatic irrigation system is
needed because it is a very simple and easy to control system. It can also avoid human errors.
The proposed system will allow farmers to continuously monitor the moisture level in the farm
and control the system using the Blynk app over the internet. When moisture goes below a
certain level then the sensor senses the data on the app. There are four sensors are used such as
soil moisture, raindrop sensor, temperature and humidity sensor, motion sensor, the main part
is the ESP8266 Nodemcu Microcontroller in this project. By using Internet (IoT) technology
and sensor network technology we can control wastage. The aim of this smart farming system
is that it gives an update of crops and warns the farmer before any kind of unfavourable
position on the farms.

3.1 System explanation

 NodeMCU Board:-
The NodeMCU (ESP8266) is a microcontroller with an inbuilt Wi-Fi module. It is a
device with a total of 30 pins out of which 17 are GPIO pins, these GPIO pins are
connected to various sensors to receive data from the sensors and send output data to
the connected devices. The NodeMCU (ESP8266) has 128KB of RAM and a 4MB
flash memory storage to store programs and data. The code is dumped into the
NodeMCU (ESP8266) and is stored in it. Whenever the NodeMCU (ESP 8266)
receives input data from various sensors, it crosschecks the data received and the data
stored in it. Depending on the data received it sends a pulse to the Relay Module which
in-turn acts as a switch to on or off the pump. The operating frequency of the
NodeMCU (ESP8266) ranges from 80 to 160 MHZ, and the operating voltage ranges
from 3 to 3.6V. The range of the Wi-Fi module presents in the NodeMCU (ESP8266)
ranges from 46 (indoors) to 92 (Outdoors) Meters.

 DC Motor :-

A DC motor is an electromechanical device that converts electrical energy

into mechanical energy. It operates based on the principle of
electromagnetic induction.

 Soil Moisture Sensor:-

A soil moisture sensor is a device that measures the water content in soil. It
typically consists of probes inserted into the soil, connected to electronic
circuitry that processes the readings. These sensors are used in agriculture
and gardening to optimize watering schedules and promote healthy plant
growth.

 RELAY:-

A relay is an electromechanical switch that uses an electromagnet to

mechanically open or close electrical contacts. It consists of a coil, an
armature, and one or more sets of contacts. When an electrical current is
passed through the coil, it creates a magnetic field that attracts the
armature, causing it to move and either close or open the contacts. Relays
are commonly used in control circuits to switch high-power devices or
circuits using low-power signals. They are versatile and reliable
components found in various applications, including industrial automation,
automotive systems, and household appliances.

 LCD :-
 LCD stands for Liquid Crystal Display. It's a flat panel display technology
that uses liquid crystals to produce images

Results and Discussions
Based on the provided sources, the distinction between result and decision can be summarized
as follows:
Result:

The result refers to the specific outcome or output of a process, action, or event. It represents
the tangible or measurable consequence of a particular action or decision.

In the context of decision-making, the result is the actual outcome achieved, which can be
positive, negative, or neutral, and is often evaluated based on predefined benchmarks or
comparisons with other outcomes.

Results can vary widely and are influenced by various factors, including luck, quality of
decision-making, external circumstances, and the specific context in which the decision was
made.

Decision:

A decision, on the other hand, refers to the process of making a choice or selecting a course of
action from available alternatives. It involves assessing information, weighing options, and
committing to a particular course of action.

The decision-making process is crucial as it directly influences the outcome or result of a

situation. The quality of decisions made can impact the likelihood of achieving favorable
results.

It is emphasized that focusing on the quality of decisions, rather than solely on outcomes, is
essential for long-term success and effective decision-making. Understanding that good
decisions can lead to positive outcomes, even in the face of challenges or unexpected results, is
key to maintaining a strategic and objective approach to decision-making.

In essence, while results represent the actual consequences of actions or decisions, decisions
themselves are the deliberate choices made based on available information and considerations.
Understanding the relationship between decision-making processes and their outcomes is
crucial for improving decision quality and achieving desired results effectively.
