We are giving quick tough and dependable work. Smart water system framework utilizing Node MCU that precisely help our client to pick brilliant enhance atomized and financial answer for cultivating and watering agriculture system to structure a basic, simple to introduce, easy to understand framework. To watering plants cause ease in your obligations simple to keep up likewise slice the work cost to you it could be said to employ an expert gardner. Additionally, it is an advancing and keen arrangement. The inventive idea arrangement is anything but difficult to utilize framework which can be locally utilized and introduced effectively can spare time simultaneously through your planting issues decrease to half. As of world is getting brilliant with its imaginative arrangement and computerization is taking the activity of individuals simultaneously it helping individuals from numerous points of view including efficient limit simple shrewd increasing dependable and human free with low force utilization including a highlights of strength. Additionally, this framework is likewise a little advance towards to planting to be keen presenting brilliant and inventive thought of water system framework can without much of a stretch be introduced and utilized locally having financial arrangement. We plan an inventive answer for supplant the customary water system framework which requires some serious energy and expend numerous assets as labor likewise to keep up it anyway we have shrewd water system framework to take care of this issue imaginatively and we discovered in fact and operationally practical arrangement and actually and monetarily plausible as indicated by necessities feasible solution and technically and economically feasible according to requirements. For this task we did a writing audit and read some of related research papers which are utilizing basically and a portion of the comparable validation process like our own or go with the equipment that we are utilizing in the venture.

Project Objectives

The main objective of this project is

• To develop an automated system that solves most problems related to irrigation and agriculture.
• Controlling and saving both the water and electricity,
• Increasing agricultural production using small quantities of water ,
• Minimize manual intervention in watering operations with increasing watering speed,
• Preserving plants from fungi and other kind of dangerous viruses.

All these features make the automated agricultural system sustainable option, which improves the agriculture and irrigation effectively and efficienty. We want to make this system for basic domestic user in low scale project for farming as there is a big issue of water availability in Pakistan in upcomming years according to the survey. This project reduces the water consumption, saving resources and also your utility as a plants. it merely use half of water as traditional watering system through this system you can automate the watering system at very low cost and durability is also a measure to be considered and it is less time consuming than tradition. Its maintenance cost is very low as of its productivity according to cost to benefit ratio. Also installation cost is also very effecitive, small modification can be done for many plants at a time covering huge area easily with low power consumption. Moreover, it is innovate and time saving solution. 

Project Implementation Method

The project has beed developed for the use of customer. Wi-Fi technology has been  for our project. It is cost effective and easy to connect node MCU which increases its functionality and also support the data rate up to 150 Mbps with range 20 meters. We use android mobile for the display of the project handling, messages, temperature and humidity according to user demand to check the authorization of the user then it can access to display the tools. We are using node MCU to design this system. In these project system we have used the arm microprocessor based computer which is light weight, compact and low power consumption. Moreover, its connectivity has been enhanced through Wi-Fi in comparison of past technology. We are using relay terminal and pins for create connection between DC Motor and Node MCU. If DC motor futionality will work on and off mode, relay will show the signal through the LED light on and off. We are using moister sensor for sense the level of soil (moist or dry) and show the result on android mobile. The DHT11 is a digital temperature and humidity sensor. It uses a capacitive humidity sensor and a thermistor to measure the surrounding air, and spits out a digital signal on the data pin (no analog input pins needed). It’s fairly simple to use, but requires careful timing to grab data. We are using LED Light in three colors red, yellow and green. Yellow Lights indicates that moister sensor in moist condition, green light indicates that moister sensor in low moist condition and red light indicates that moister sensor in dry condition. If your moister sensor in dry condition first we acknowledge through the red light and then all lights blink and DC motor started. We are using DC Motor (12 v) for supply the water according to our requirement. We are using PVC pipe case for hide our wires and hardware and save our hardware and wires to dust and moist condition. PVC Pipe case give the better look to our project and our project visualize good. Here, we will talk over some software dependencies that we have used in the implementation of the project as the software is the most important part of our software. Integrated Development environment are used for the language where we can write the language is written and executes its executable file. The open-source Arduino Software (IDE) makes it easy to write code and upload it to the board. This software can be used with any Node mcu board. We are using blynk application for control Node mcu micro computers with the smartphone over the Internet. The purpose of using this application is to create beautiful interfaces with widgets like buttons, knobs, graphs, displays and many more.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

The NodeMCU ESP-12E is the integrated version of the popular ESP8266, a Serial to Wi-Fi System On a Chip (SoC) that appeared for the first time in 2013, been released on following year. The ESP8266 was developed by the Shangai-based company Espressif Systems, an IC manufacturer focused on the development of RF chips, particularly Wi-Fi.

There are several modules in the market that use the ESP8266 chip, they are named ESP-NN, where NN is a number 01, 02, ..... 12, sometimes followed by a letter. These modules typically carry the ESP8266 SoC, flash memory, a crystal, and in most cases, an onboard antenna. In the link you can find the full list of ESP8266 based devices found in the market: ESP8266 Module Family. The 2 more important modules are without doubt, the ESP-01 and the ESP-12E.

Herein, we have used the ESP-12E Development Board (NodeMCU DevKit 1.0). This development board for the ESP8266 SoC inside the ESP-12E module is out-of-the-box ready for you to connect it to your computer, install USB drivers, and start writing programs that connect to your Wi-Fi network.

Technical Specification:

• Support STA/AP/STA+AP 3 working modes;
• Built-in TCP/IP protocol stack, support multiple-channel TCP Client connection (max 5);
• 0?D8, SD1?SD3: used for GPIO, PWM (D1-D8), IIC, ect; the driven ability can be arrived at 15mA;
• AD0: one-way 10 bits ADC;
• Power input: 4.5V~9V(10VMAX), support USB powered and USB debug;
• Working current: ?70mA(200mA MAX), standby ? 200uA;
• Transmission data rate: 110-460800bps;
• Support UART/GPIO data communication interface;
• Support update firmware remotely (OTA);
• Support Smart Link;
• Driven mode: double large-power H bridge driven
• Weight: 7g.

We have programmed and use the Node MCU almost as a regular Arduino using its IDE. It is important to remember that any new "custom firmware" will replace anything previously stored in the chip's flash memory, including the original firmware loaded at factory where the AT commands were common used. Although we can use the manufacturer's SDK to develop our custom firmware, it is much easier to use the good and old Arduino IDE.

In the Arduino IDE open the REFERENCES window and enter the URL (marked in red in the above photo) into the Additional Boards Manager URLs field, and select OK.
