This document summarizes a student project to create a smart farm soil moisture detection system using a Raspberry Pi. The project aims to monitor soil moisture levels locally on an LCD screen or remotely via online dashboards. Key components include a soil moisture sensor, analog to digital converter, Raspberry Pi, and software to read sensor values and display them. The system will send daily emails if moisture drops below a threshold and has potential for automating watering based on soil conditions.

- 2. INTRODUCTION For farmersand growers, the Internet of Things has opened up extremely productive ways to cultivate soil and raise livestock with the use of cheap, easy-to-install sensors and an abundance of insightful data they offer. Prospering on this prolific build-up of the Internet of Things in agriculture, smart farming applications are gaining ground with the promise to deliver 24/7 visibility into soil and crop health, machinery in use, storage conditions, animal behavior, and energy consumption level.
- 3. Soil moisture Soilmoisture sensor calculates the volumetric water content of soil according to the dialetric constant measurement. The sensor allows to control the water content of soil in order to optimize irrigation and treatments as well as to support agronomic studies.

- 5. GOAL OF THEPROJECT We are going to harness the awesomeness of Raspberry Pi to build a moisture sensor for a plant pot. We will be able to monitor the sensor locally on the LCD or remotely, via ControlMyPi.com, and receive daily emails if the moisture drops below a specified level.

- 7. ALONG THE WAYWE WILL ALSO… wire up and read a value from an analog sensor over SPI using a breadboard format the sensor reading nicely in the console display the sensor reading on an RGB LCD display have the Raspberry Pi send an email with the sensor reading easily monitor the sensor and some historic readings on the web Raspberry Pi Moisture Sensor

- 15. The Software Environment This project can be built using Adafruit, which comes with the hardware SPI driver ready to go. Required Utilities: Git (/ɡɪt/) is a version control system that is used for software development and other version control tasks. pip is a package management system used to install and manage software packages written in Python. We need a Python wrapper for the SPI driver so we can read the values from the sensor over SPI
- 16. ControlMyPi Library ControlMyPiis a service to quickly and easily make control panels on the Internet from your Raspberry Pi Python scripts. ControlMyPi provides a web based service to allow simple Python scripts to be controlled from a panel over the Internet. Your Python script defines a widget layout of labels, buttons, status indicators and more for ControlMyPi to display. When a button is clicked your script will get a message. If you have some status to report, your script can send that to ControlMyPi at any time and it’ll be pushed out to your

Increased production and better quality • The yield of crops will be at its optimum level and quality will also be improved Cost Effective. • It is really cheap and affordable.

- 20. FUTURE SCOPE Innear future we are enhancing the design to automate watering system according to the soil moisture levels. A database can be formed. It can be used to determine the types of acids, alkalis or salts present in the soil. Salinity of soil can also be calculated by correlating it with the output voltage. Wireless transmission of the output data directly to the user can be done using ZigBee or Bluetooth. We can get the values from stored data base in PC so that the moisture holding capacity of the soil can be determined and can be operated by a smart phone for automatic watering of plants.
- 21. Conclusion The soilmoisture response monitoring system designed is very simple to understand and handle. It can be operated by all age-groups of farmer. It can be reprogrammable to add more features. The moisture is measured up to the root zone of the crop. Thus it can be used to check the moisture value for any crop. Sensor can be placed vertically in the soil to check the depth of irrigated water and also it can be placed horizontally at different heights in the soil according to the crop. It is user friendly and can also be used by uneducated farmers.
- 22. In thisProject, we learned how to set up and use SPI on your Raspberry Pi for use with an Analog-to-Digital converter. We then used a sensor to monitor the moisture level of the soil in a plant pot. The software allows us to see this sensor reading on the console, on an LCD, on a gauge and chart over the Internet and through a daily email.
