Abstract

Agriculture faces critical challenges due to traditional irrigation practices, including irregular water supply, manual motor operation, and risky nighttime travel to fields. These issues increase physical strain, expose farmers to safety risks, and result in inefficiencies such as electrical overloads, uneven water distribution, and excessive energy consumption. Additionally, dependency on unpredictable weather patterns and the lack of timely system alerts exacerbate these problems, leading to reduced crop yields and financial burdens. Addressing these issues requires innovative solutions that minimize manual intervention, optimize resource utilization, and enhance operational safety. This paper proposes an IoT-enabled smart irrigation system with a master-slave architecture to address inefficiencies in traditional farming practices. The domestic server, ESP-01 Embedded Board, serves as the master, coordinating with the field execution unit, ESP-32 Embedded Board, as the slave via the Think Speak Cloud. Tested on a remote agricultural farm, the system demonstrated effectiveness in promoting sustainable farming practices by ensuring real-time motor control, automated alerts, and time-sequenced operation. These features optimize water distribution, reduce energy consumption, and minimize risks associated with manual motor operation. Remote monitoring through a Kodular mobile application eliminates the need for physical field visits, significantly reducing farmers' workload while improving operational safety. The results showcase enhanced water efficiency, safety, and sustainability, offering a transformative solution for modern agriculture that promotes resource optimization and improves farmers' quality of life.
