Abstract :
This paper describes the development and
application of an SMS-based, affordable, and easily
understandable irrigation control system for agricultural
purposes. The system leverages the processing power of a
Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller and the remote
communication capabilities of a GSM module to create a
robust and versatile solution. By incorporating a suite of
sensors for soil moisture, temperature, and humidity, the
system automates irrigation cycles based on user-defined
thresholds and real-time sensor data. This data-driven
approach ensures optimal water usage, minimizing labor
requirements and promoting sustainable farming
practices by reducing water waste. Additionally, the
system transmits SMS alerts for critical situations such as
high temperature, low moisture, or pump malfunctions,
enabling timely intervention to prevent crop stress or
equipment failure. Users can remotely control the pump
and receive status updates through SMS commands,
providing a convenient interface for managing irrigation
tasks from anywhere with cellular reception. This
innovative system contributes to the field of smart
agriculture by demonstrating how readily available
technology can be effectively used to improve water
management efficiency, minimize labor requirements, and
ultimately increase agricultural productivity.
