SMART IRRIGATION SYSTEM Using IoT # 'Built on BOLT'

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 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.

3- In the CREAT NEW PRODUCT section -

i- write any name for new product

ii- choose any icon

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]

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.

Bro what are the components are required for this

[nidhith]

hi , after using this code after dipping the sensor into water it the light should get automatically off but its still blinking and i have checked but still the problem is there.
so, what's the solution?

[Parth039]

Can you please tell me how can i bought a BOLT????

[medhedi98]

hi i'm a student and i'm working in a project simular to yours
can you please send me the data sheet of all component and their uses
and thank you

[Swansong]

That would be a neat setup for a greenhouse :)

[poondevi.r]

How much cost needed. ?

[priya.gangisetti]

Sir, can we use node MCU instead of bolt?

[Arjun_21]

Which model of BolT module was used in Your project..?

[Poojapriyambada]

i want project based on automatic irrigation system using rain sensor,soil sensor. and auomatic switch off and on by mobile accessing.can u tell me which components are use for this project

[KartikA23]

Is it possible to use it without bolt module?

[arduinoguru]

I think BOLT has nothing to do with the project. It is just used to view response data in graphical format. You can make your own graphs if you know php. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/645582/how-to-draw-a-graph-in-php

[MUHAMMADA1113]

Sir can u please send me the list of the components used, I'm going to make this project, I'll mention your name as a co-supervisor or mentor. Please reply soon sir

[Sai NiharikaS]

Can we send a notification message to their mobile when water level low or high

[doing2much]

Very useful! Voted for you, too :)

[ajayt7]

Liked the project, have voted for you

Hei Aman, god work.

If you want to
expand your system, so that the effect becomes significantly higher in
practice, you have to place two humidity meters, one near the ground and
one close to the bottom of the root zone. Plants
on fields absorb nutrients via water throughout the root, and therefore
it is most effective that most of the root zone is moist for the longest
possible time. However, most plants also need dry periods, but it depends on the individual plants. But try to make measurements throughout the root zone, so that all the plants roots can be used to absorb nutrition :-)
