- Abstract:
- The main purpose of this work is to present a new method to control the quantity of water used in irrigation. The challenge today is to create an automated irrigation system which in the same time can reduce the water’s waste and is cost effective. Different parameters are important to measure in order to calculate the efficient quantity of water needed by plant. In this work, the proposed solution is the use of less power consumption and cheaper devices but still efficient enough for the system. The system is composed of three nodes to be used together; each node is composed from the TelosB mote and adequate sensors. The soil node will be used to detect the level of moisture and temperature in soil, the weather node to prevent the climatic changes and the last one is connected to an actuator so you can control the opening of the irrigation valve if necessary.
