IoT-Based Automated Solution to Irrigation: An Approach to Control Electric Motors Through Android Phones

In recent years, agriculture is getting automated with the use of application of information technology and the Internet of Things (IoT). In IoT, physical devices are interconnected to form a network, and these are enabled by the internet and the web that interact with these devices. One major problem in a developing country like India is the availability of electricity at the farming areas, which has resulted in problems of irrigation. This paper proposes a system, which notifies the availability of electricity at the farming areas by sending a SMS to the users mobile, thus helping the user to know about the availability of electricity and thus, allowing to switch ON/OFF the electric motor at the agricultural area from any remote location using IoT. This paper also involves an enhanced system for one user having farming areas located at different locations and control all these areas using only one device.
