Design and implementation of IoT-based low cost smart irrigation controllers

Document Type : Original Article

Abstract

This paper presents an IoT-based smart irrigation controller. In the desired system, sensors information wirelessly collected from nodes that are scattered around the environment. It is also possible to view information and apply commands from the Internet. One of the important advantages of this system due to the use of Lora technology is increasing the operating range to more than 2km and very low transceiver module consumption (0.2uA in standby). Another advantages is automatic control ability based on the environmental sensors information and powering nodes with solar panel and battery. Various parts of the system including the nodes, actuator, gateway and server are fully designed and implemented. The performance of the nodes and actuator, sending commands to the actuator, sending sensors information to the gateway, uploading data to server through gateway and system operating range was tested successfully.
