Abstract: In the advancement of technologies controlling and monitoring electrical appliances using laptop, computer with the help of
internet connection is possible. So it gives a more space at a home, university and industrial controlling electrical appliances anywhere in
the world. By using Internet of Things we can control many devices such as light, power plug, Fan, computer, security system and etc.It
reduces human efforts and power efficiency. The main objective of internet of things is used to help specially challenged people and old
age people to control electrical appliances and security purpose. IoT is very useful for these people in crucial situations. There are two
ways to access these process WIFI connectivity (or) it is connected to a router. This process is done in low cost & controlling many
devices in a simple circuit.

I.INTRODUCTION Based on the sensed value it sends message to the user

Agriculture uses 85% of available freshwater resources whether the soil is dry or not. If dryness in the soil is
worldwide, and this percentage will continue to be dominant detected then the water is sprayed automatically for that
in water consumption because of population growth and particular region. In the case of pesticide, the switch is turned

strategies based on science and technology for sustainableuse another tank and the mixture is sprayed on the land. Both
of water, including technical, agronomic, managerial, and water and pesticide mixture are sprayed through the same
institutional improvements.Now a days, many new ways are sprayer. Whether the water is to be sprayed or pesticide is to

II.EXISTING SYSTEM IV.BLOCK DIAGRAM

In existing system only traditional methods like manual
pesticide spraying and irrigation systems are used till now. In
case of pesticide sprayer a tank of 12 liter capacity is filled
with a mixture of water and pesticide mixed by rod
manually.Otherwise a mechatronics based robot is employed
which is not much suited for the agricultural field. It needs a
large power supply. It needs a powerful motor to carry the
heavy water tank. Like manual spraying system it also needs
regular monitoring of the agricultural field.It has the
disadvantage, shortage of labor in the field of agriculture. In
the proposed system the field is divided into four quadrants
and the soil moisture sensor is placed in the four quadrants
respectively. The sensor senses the moisture level of the soil. Fig1.Block diagram of transmitter section

on-chip Flash allows the program memory to be
reprogrammed in-system or by a conventional nonvolatile 4.Max 232
memory programmer. By combining a versatile 8-bit CPU Max 232 is working as a amplifier.It should amplify the data
with Flash on a monolithic chip, the Atmel AT89C52 is a in high speed and it should be errorless.It gives the high
powerful microcomputer which provides a highly-flexible skew rate.In this system has CMOS to RS232 converter and
and cost-effective solution to many embedded control RS232 to CMOS converter.In CMOS to RS232
applications. converter,electrical signals are converted in to
electromagnetic signals.These electromagnetic signals are
converted in to analog signal by using RS232 to CMOS
converter.

5.LED panel board

The LED panel board is used to identify,which direction the
water and pesticides are spraying.The panel board has 4
LEDs,each of the LEDs are represents the direction of
spraying.That is,if the water is spraying in the south
direction,at that time south LED is ON etc.

6.LCD display
A 2*16 LCD display is used to display the current
functioning of the controller and displayes the direction in
which dryness is detected.An 2*16 LCD display has two
types of register.

2.Soil Moisture Sensor

The volumetric water content of soil is measured with the
help of soil moisture sensor. This makes it ideal for
performing experiments in courses such as

7.Optocoupler
The optocoupler is used to open or close the output valve of
the pump motor. when it receives the input data the led starts
burning and the light sensor inside the chip detects the light
and connects the switch inside the chip to the output pin.

VI.CONCLUSION
The automated spraying system implemented was found to
be feasible and cost effective for optimizing water resources
for agricultural production. This irrigation system allows
cultivation in places with water scarcity thereby improving
sustainability.The irrigation system can be adjusted to a
variety of specific crop needs and requires minimum
maintenance. The modular configuration of the automated
irrigation system allows it to be scaled up for larger
greenhouses or open fields. Besides the monetary savings in
water use, the importance of the preservation of this natural
resource justify the use of this kind of irrigation systems.
