摘要:Wireless Sensor Network consist of group of sensors for monitoring and recording of physical conditions of environment. WSN organizes these recorded data at a central location. This technology is used in many applications like military, health care, agriculture, smart home etc. In the proposed system we use WSN technology for agriculture application for monitoring of soil parameters, such as soil temperature, soil humidity, soil moisture and send this data to microcontroller using wireless technology. Earlier, agriculture is done manually by performing the task such as planting or harvesting, against a predetermined schedule. Now by collecting the real time data on weather, soil, crop maturity and availability, predictive analytics can be used to make smarter decisions. We use the Arduino Uno R3, a microcontroller board based on the ATmega328P. It is used to obtain real time values of the plant and also performs analysis on the data acquired. The LM35 temperature sensor is used for measuring the soil and environment temperature. The Soil moisture sensor is used to measure the moisture content of the soil and the soil humidity sensor, LM393 comparator with humidity sensor measures the humidity of the plant.SIM900A is a Tri-band GSM/GPRS engine that enables message sending over the network to the particular mobile device, with details about the soil parameters such as soil moisture, temperature and humidity of the plant. The water motor is intended for the use of watering the plant. As the soil moisture of the plant or crop decreases, the motor automatically switches on. It runs until optimum moisture is reached and then switches off.
