Abstract: 
Current global technology significantly impacts agriculture, with automation playing a crucial role by executing procedures without assistance from any individual. This work aims to demonstrate how an individual can set up an affordable automatic irrigation system in a few hours by connecting various electronic components and materials. A sensor-based automated irrigation system has been designed and implemented, providing widespread use and significant advantages. This system aids daily activities by saving time and reducing labor. It makes use of a sensor technology in conjunction with a microcontroller, relay, DC motor, and battery. By measuring the moisture content of the soil and turning on irrigation as necessary, the device functions as an intelligent switch. The motor automatically turns on or off based on soil dryness. Sensor readings are transmitted to a computer for graph generation and analysis, allowing easy monitoring and control via a computer. Green roofs, nurseries, greenhouses, and gardens of all sizes can use this watering system.It conserves time, energy, reduces water wastage, and simplifies irrigation planning for farmers, enhancing their management of crops.
