Raspberry pi based real time monitoring of Agriculture & Irrigation Using IOT

  Athira P. Shaji

Precision Agriculture is a technology used in farm management that uses information technology to ensure that the crops and soil receive exactly what they need for optimum health and productivity. Now a days smart technology deployed for modern farms grow together with the concept of Precision Agriculture(PA). The concept of Internet Of Things (IOT) helps us to join all these elements. Environment real time monitoring is an important factor in smart farming. Graphical User Interface based software will be provided to control the hardware system and the system will be entirely isolated environment, equipped with sensors like temperature sensor, humidity sensor etc. So to overcome problems in monitoring we go for smart agriculture techniques using IoT. In the context of Smart Security and Monitoring System for Agriculture, we address the challenge of integrating Internet of Things with Raspberry pi and sensors to improve the efficiency of the agriculture. The use of sensor network which collects the data from different types of sensors and then send it to main server using Raspberry pi and all these parameters can be monitored using LCD display. Using IoT all the details are stored in the cloud and can be monitored. Data is processed in a smart cloud service. The developed multimedia platform can be controlled remotely by a mobile phone. It uses LoRa WAN network protocol which provides a long distance communication with very low energy consumption. This proposal is towards the increasing need of availability and facilities of a farmer.
