Description

IoT based Drip Irrigation System using Solar Panel Energy

The purpose of this project is to design a drip irrigation system that could be controlled via Internet of Things (IoT) technology to raise the efficiency of water usage in plantations using solar panel energy. Design used in this drip irrigation system consists of hardware and software design, including system development. As for the method used here is IoT based. This drip irrigation system could monitor plant conditions in real-time. NodeMCU is used to send information and automatic valve controller with soil humidity as its parameter. With this tool, farmers are expected to be able to monitor soil humidity, pH and plantations conditions.
