SMART IRRIGATION SYSTEM Using IoT
by AmanK113
The Smart Irrigation System is an IoT based device
which is capable of automating the irrigation process
by analyzing the moisture of soil and the climate
condition (like raining).Also the data of sensors will be
displayed in graphical form on BOLT cloud page. For
detailed description of project click on the Research
Paper link given below-
http://dx.doi.org/10.17577/IJERTV6IS060067
In this project, we will command the arduino/328p
microcontroller through a webpage to control the
motor (i.e., to start and stop the motor) and the rest of
whole irrigation process will be automatically
controlled by arduino itself.
The user has only to do is –Start the motor or if he
desires it can switch off the motor by just a click only.
Once the Motor pump has started- following
automated condition will work
1. User can switch OFF the motor if he desires by a
click on the web page.
2. The motor pump will automatically get switched
SMART IRRIGATION SYSTEM Using IoT: Page 1
OFF once the soil moisture sensor has reached the
required threshold value.
3. If weather condition is such that it started raining,
then the micro-controller will shut down the motor
pump till raining. And after that it checks whether the
soil moisture sensor has reached the threshold value
or not. If it crosses the threshold value then motor
pump will remain shut down otherwise it will start
again automatically. This helps in saving water
resource and electricity.
4.Also in case, when power supply gets cut-off and
motor gets switched off. It will restart again
automatically when there will be availability power
supply, user will have not to worry about restarting
the motor pump manually.
5. Also data of various sensor like- moisture sensor ,
temperature sensor, humidity sensor will be displayed
on BOLT cloud in graphical form but due to limitation
of BOLT i have only displayed one sensor
data(moisture sensor data).
Step 1: Block Diagram of Project

DO the connection of sensors, BOLT and relay as given in diagram. I have used 328p microcontroller which is
used in ARDUINO. So you can use Arduino in place of 328P microcontroller.

Step 2: Arduino Code for Project

Hardserial.ino is arduino code which consist of interfacing of different sensors with arduino and interfacing of
Arduino with BOLT to send data of sensor on BOLT cloud page.

Step 3: Coding of HTML Page

In this step, we will code the HTML page through which we send command to Arduino for controlling the motor(i.e.,
to START and STOP the motor).

Step 4: Uploading JavaScript on BOLT Cloud

Write the following JS code notepad++

setChartType('lineGraph');
plotChart('time_stamp','temp');

and then save it using .js file extension. This is very important.This will takes the value of sensors and upload it in
graphical form on BOLT cloud.

Step 5: Configuration on BOLT Cloud Page

If you have already bought a BOLT device and
registered it then
1- open the bolt cloud page - click on the link
http://cloud.boltiot.com
and then login to that.
2- then click on DEVELOPER CONSOLE -> Click on
"+" button to create a new product in PRODUCTS
section.
iii- Select UI as default.html
4- click on CREATE PRODUCT
5- AFTER that click on "YES" for creating
HARDWARE CONFIGURATION
6- Then select GPIO and number of pin as 1
7- Choose pin as "AO" [we have connected the
moisture sensor at A0 pin]

3- In the CREAT NEW PRODUCT section -
i- write any name for new product
ii- choose any icon
8- and VARIABLE NAME as "temp" [because we
have written temp as variable in js code {STEP-4}]
9- Lastly upload the JS file in UPLOAD FILES section
and and change the default,html file from that js file.

Step 6: Deploy Configuration and Data Visulisation

1- Click on the DEVICES Tab. Your Device ID will be listed.Now, Under the product tab, Select the name of your
product “Bolt IoT Product”. For eg - temp. Now, Click on the Deploy Configuration button.

2- Go to home page and click on BOLT unit. It will redirect to you on the new page where you can see a graph for
moisture with respect to Time.
