Automatic Irrigation System: Design and Implementation

This article presents an automatic irrigation system using multi-sensors functionalities (temperature and moisture) and Arduino MEGA 2560 associated with a mobile monitoring system. This project aims to sense moisture and temperature levels based on the variant algorithm-based related to soil type. Subsequently, the automated pumping system turns ON and OFF the actuator (water pump) as feedback on the plant water need. The devices have been installed successfully to monitor large scale farms of Management and Science University, Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia. By implementing this system, water usage consumption was reduced significantly, and the required labor works were maintained. Furthermore, the provided mobile application allows the users to monitor and manually control if the case is needed.
