Abstract: This paper proposes a design for home automation system using ready-to-use, cost effective and energy efficient
devices including raspberry pi, arduino microcontrollers, xbee modules and relay boards. Use of these components results in
overall cost effective, scalable and robust implementation of system. The sensor data were uploaded in to cloud by raspberry pi
using python programming language. Arduino microcontrollers used to transmit the sensor data to the raspberry pi using zigbee
protocol. Star zigbee topology serves as backbone for the communication between raspberry pi and end devices. Raspberry pi
acts a central coordinator and end devices act as various routers. Low-cost and energy efficient drip irrigation system serves as a
proof of concept. The design can be used in big agriculture fields as well as in small gardens and water plants. The use of
ultrasound sensors and solenoid valves make a smart drip irrigation system. The paper explains the complete installation of the
system including hardware and software aspects. Experimental set-up is also tested and explained for an automatic drip irrigation
system to water 50 pots.
Keywords: Raspberry Pi, Arduino, Xbee, Zigbee, Automatic Drip Irrigation System.

Rain Fall Sensor: The rain sensor module is an easy tool for
rain detection. It can be used as a switch when raindrop falls
through the raining board and also for measuring rainfall
intensity. The module features, a rain board and the control
board that is separate for more convenience, power indicator
LED and an adjustable sensitivity though a potentiometer. Fig.7.Soil Sensor.
The analog output is used in detection of drops in the amount
of rainfall. Connected to 5V power supply, the LED will turn Xbee: xbee is an IEEE 802.15.4 standard for data
