Abstract
In today's world, the quality of the crops is of utmost importance. Crops need to be effectively cared for, and steps are needed to ensure their healthy growth. Smart Irrigation is a major topic that has been implemented in certain regions, but the accumulation of various sensors is the key to the effective safety of crops. In the chapter, various sensors are being deployed and used in synchronization. The primary ones included in the system are the water level and moisture sensor, which works in correspondence with the water motor; the proximity (PIR) sensor, which works in accordance with the buzzer and the webcam; and finally, the light-dependent resistor (LDR), which works in relation with the artificial light. The analog data received from the sensors are transmitted to the raspberry-pi and then sent over the network using a Wi-Fi module to Ubidots, where the data will be analyzed, and necessary actions will be taken. The components to be used in the system will guarantee overall prolific, scalable, and ardent implementation.
