Efficient irrigation is vital for sustainable agriculture. This paper presents an Internet of Things (IoT) based automated irrigation technique to optimize water usage by real-time soil moisture monitoring. The system comprises soil moisture sensors, a microcontroller, water pump, Wi-Fi module and cloud-based software. Sensor probes in crop root zones measure Volumetric water content . The microcontroller analyses Volumetric water content levels against crop-specific thresholds to control water pumps. Volumetric water content data is transmitted wirelessly to the cloud and smartphone app for monitoring. Field trials indicate around 40% water savings compared to timed irrigation by maintaining optimal soil moisture. The proposed system demonstrates high accuracy in need-based automated irrigation with minimal human intervention. Periodic wireless software updates enable adaptive watering for varying crops, soil, and weather conditions. This IoT approach can promote precision agriculture to address food security and water scarcity challenges.
