Monitoring of irrigation in agricultural crops, via the internet and mobile phone messages.
This project is ready to use, even at locations out of the electricity grid’s range, as it uses solar panels for its power supply.
Using the SIM900, through the GPRS network, we send the sensor’s data to ThingSpeak IoT platform.
In this project, we monitor a gravity analog water pressure sensor, like the DFROBOT’s SKU SEN0257 https://wiki.dfrobot.com/Gravity__Water_Pressure_Sensor_SKU__SEN0257.
We also are monitoring the voltage of the battery to know the charging condition.
This is the basic function of the project. You could add more sensors depending on what you want to do.
The project aims to save energy by limiting unnecessary trips to control irrigation systems and better management of water resources by identifying any malfunctions from the outset.
In all cases of malfunction, non-operation of the pumps or breakage of the pipes, the first indication is the loss or change in the operating pressure of the irrigation water.
The system in this version monitors the water pressure through a pressure sensor and transmits via the Internet every 10 minutes the pressure value on the ThingSpeak IoT platform (Internet of Things), where through an application for PC or Smartphone we always have a display of the values in a chart.
The Arduino Nano is used as the main processor and the communication via the Internet is done with the SIM900 GPRS shield.
Δυνατότητα παρακολούθησης πολλών αισθητήτρων
Το πρότζεκτ στοχεύει στην εξοικονόμηση ενέργειας περιορίζοντας τις άσκοπες μετακινήσεις για έλεγχο των συστημάτων ποτίσματος και στην καλύτερη διαχείριση των υδάτινων πόρων εντοπίζοντας την οποία δυσλειτουργία από την πρώτη κιόλας στιγμή.
Στο σύνολο των περιπτώσεων δυσλειτουργίας, μη λειτουργίας των αντλιών ή σπασίματος των αγωγών, η πρώτη ένδειξη είναι η απώλεια ή αλλαγή στην πίεση λειτουργίας του νερού ποτίσματος.
Το σύστημα σε αυτή του την έκδοση, παρακολουθεί την πίεση του Νερού μέσω ενός αισθητήρα πίεσης και μεταδίδει μέσω ίντερνετ κάθε 10 λεπτά την τιμή της πίεση στην πλατφόρμα ThingSpeak IoT ( Internet of Things) (διαδίκτυο των πραγμάτων), όπου μέσω εφαρμογής για PC ή Smartphone έχουμε ανά πάσα στιγμή έλεγχο των τιμών σε γράφημα.
Ως κεντρικός επεξεργαστής χρησιμοποιείται το Arduino Nano και η επικοινωνία μέσω ίντερνετ γίνεται με την SIM900 GPRS shield.
Το σύστημα είναι έτοιμο για χρήση ακόμα και σε περιοχές εκτός ηλεκτρικού δικτύου, καθώς τροφοδοτείτε μέσω μπαταρίας 12volt και φόρτιση μέσω ηλιακού πάνελ.
