Raspberry pi and Arduino Based Automated Irrigation System

Sneha Angal

Abstract: Automation is increasing day-by-day in home and office. It makes an efficient use of the electricity and water and reduces much of the wastage. In areas like office premises, buildings, house gardens etc. where watering plants at regular interval matters, the proposed irrigation system will be very efficient. The paper presents a home automation system which is based on Raspberry pi, Arduino microcontrollers, and zigbee and relay boards to water plants. Raspberry pi acts as the control block in the automatic irrigation system to control the flow of motor. The commands from the Arduino are processed at raspberry pi. Zigbee module is used for communication between the Raspberry pi and Arduino. This paper presents an efficient and fairly cheap automation irrigation system. By using moisture sensor we will make the irrigation system smart and automated. System once installed has no maintenance cost and is easy to use.
