3. WHAT IS SMART IRRIGATION
SYSTEM ?
โข Smart irrigation systems are a combination of
an advanced technology of sprinklers with
nozzles that improve coverage and irrigation
controllers that are watering and water conservation
systems that monitor moisture-related conditions and
automatically adjust watering to optimal levels.
4. HOW DOES A SMART IRRIGATION
SYSTEM WORK?
โข How smart irrigation
works. Smart irrigation
system collects
information from sensors
and sends predefined user
orders to actuators, that
make the water sprinkler
to go off. The data is
collected by moisture
sensors. A user defines the
moisture and the

6. NODE MCU
โข NodeMCU is an open source
platform based on ESP8266
which can connect objects and let
data transfer using the Wi-Fi
protocol.
โข In addition, by providing some of
the most important features of
microcontrollers such as
GPIO(General Purpose
Input/Output) , PWM(Pulse Width
Modulation), ADC(analog-to-digital
7. RELAY
โข A relay is an electrically operated
switch.
โข It consists of a set of input
terminals for a single or multiple
control signals, and a set of
operating contact terminals.
โข The switch may have any
number of contacts in multiple
contact forms, such as make
contacts, break contacts, or
8. SUBMERSIBLE PUMP
โข A submersible pump, also
called an electric
submersible pump, is a
pump that can be fully
submerged in water. The
motor is hermetically sealed
and close-coupled to the
body of the pump.
โข A submersible
pump pushes water to the
surface by converting rotary
9. SOIL MOISTURE SENSOR
โข A resistive soil moisture
sensor works by using the
relationship between
electrical resistance and
water content to gauge the
moisture levels of the soil.
โข A electrical current is sent
from one probe to the
other, which allows the
sensor to measure the
10. TRANSISTOR
โข A transistor is a
semiconductor device used
to amplify or switch electrical
signals and power.
โข The transistor is one of the
basic building blocks of
modern electronics. It is
composed of semiconductor
material, usually with at least
three terminals for
11. VOLTAGE REGULATOR
โข Voltage regulator, any
electrical or electronic
device that maintains the
voltage of a power source
within acceptable limits.
โข Such a device is widely used
in motor vehicles of all
types to match the output
voltage of the generator to
the electrical load and to
the charging requirements
12. RESISTOR
โข A resistor is a passive two-
terminal electrical
component that implements
electrical resistance as a
circuit element.
โข In electronic circuits,
resistors are used to reduce
current flow, adjust signal
levels, to divide voltages,
bias active elements, and
