FM2

An Automation of Irrigation System at Farms

Comment

Inspiration

The issues that Indian farmers experience inspired the notion for this project. We've noted that the crop fields are usually positioned far distant from the farmer's home. To go to their crop fields, farmers must travel long distances. Irrigation is a critical component of farming. As we all know, it must be done on a daily basis, and as a result, regardless of the distance between the farm and the farmer's home, the farmer must visit his or her crop fields every day to turn on the irrigation system and feed water to the crops. This daily trip to the crop fields has several disadvantages: it wastes time, money, and, most importantly, energy. Because of the farmer's carelessness, irrigation is sometimes skipped. As a result, we decided that traveling was not a realistic alternative because the assignment could be accomplished online. It's as simple as sitting at home, hitting a button on your smartphone, and operating the pump with SmartPhone farm motor control!

What it does

Our Project Mainly Focuses on

  1. To turn on or off the Motor while sitting at home just through one click.
  2. To set the timings in the app such that for three hours in total the motor pump should work so that that pump will work 3 hours whenever the electricity comes it will turn on the Motor no need to manually check when electricity came.

How we built it

Softwares Used

  1. Arduino Ide -: To code our Nodemcu
  2. Android Studio -: To Develop our Android Application
  3. Google Firebase -: To Store and fetch data coming from the app and pass it onto the hardware device to perform Necessary Actions

** Hardware Components Used**

  1. Esp8266 Node Mcu -: To send the data to the Google firebase and to control the Servo Motor.
  2. Servo Motor -: To Turn on or off the starter switch which a normal human being turn on or off with its hand.

Challenges we ran into

  1. Due to unavailability of some hardware components we are going with Nodemcu which is a Wifi Module and we know that in most of the villages internet connection is not proper so we were supposed to use that GSM sim based module so that we need not to have internet connection.
  2. ------Many More to come as we move Forward but hoping for less --------

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  1. It is Successfully Turning Motor On and Off
  2. The app is working
  3. Data is getting Successfully stored and fetched from the google firebase.

What we learned

  1. Top integrate App dev with Iot hardware ## What's next for FM2
  2. Taking Over the market
  3. Making Farmers life more easier with new tech hacks embedded
