1.Overview
Intelligent irrigation system, the use of the Internet of Things, big data, cloud computing and sensor technology combined with real-time monitoring of agricultural production of environmental temperature, humidity light intensity, soil moisture and other parameters, the system through the analysis and processing of sensor data information, to achieve the set value of the logging or human intervention operation, as the control conditions for the operation of irrigation equipment, to achieve intelligent irrigation.
Intelligent irrigation system according to the crop demand law. Soil moisture, soil properties and other conditions to provide the most suitable water and fertilizer irrigation program, water and fertilizer integration system to install the program for timed and quantitative irrigation.
The system is divided into soil detection meteorological detection system, watering control system, and cloud data processing system by function. The monitoring system will detect the data, through the communication protocol signal transmission to the gateway, the gateway will upload the data to the cloud platform for comparison and analysis processing. When the detected data is less than or greater than the set threshold, the cloud platform will send instructions to the terminal, and the user can also send instructions through the client to realize accurate watering.
2.Functions
2.1 Monitoring systems
2.1.1 Meteorological monitoring
Aggregate data collected by sensors and weather stations, graphical visualization.
2.1.2 Soil monitoring
Sensing soil humidity, fertility for intelligent regulation to adjust the soil dry and wet balance.
2.1.3 Water consumption monitoring
LORA water meter is installed in each irrigation and monitoring area to automatically read the meter and display the water consumption.
2.2 Control system
With intelligent automatic irrigation, timed automatic irrigation, manual irrigation, quantitative automatic irrigation, cycle irrigation and other modes, the user can flexibly choose according to the needs.
2.3 Visualization platform
Users can intelligently rationalize and customize the watering service according to the data, customize the exclusive dashboard, which can be applied to the cell phone or computer.
3. System features/advantages
3.1 Real-time monitoring
Monitoring data at a glance, real-time view of the irrigation situation.
3.2 Data analysis
IOT data processing function: able to record, query, track, analyze, judge, make decisions and other data processing functions on the collected data.
3.3 Intelligent perception
Intelligent irrigation system can regulate the amount of water and regulate the ground temperature using drip irrigation can avoid excessive watering caused by the crop Han root yellow leaves and other problems control temperature measurement.
3.4 Soil monitoring
Sensing the soil temperature, adjusting the soil dry and wet balance.
3.5 Remote control
With intelligent automatic irrigation, timed automatic irrigation, manual irrigation, quantitative automatic irrigation, cycle irrigation and other modes, the user can choose according to the need for flexibility.
4. Agricultural environment monitoring
4.1 Soil temperature and humidity monitoring
The sensor collects the soil temperature and humidity, and the system automatically determines whether to start irrigation according to the monitoring data; the system determines that the soil temperature and humidity reaches the threshold, the electronic valve automatically opens and starts automatic irrigation, and when the temperature and humidity reaches the standard value the solenoid valve automatically closes and the irrigation stops.
4.2 Soil moisture monitoring
Soil conductivity, soil PH value, soil temperature and humidity, and other information comprehensively and truly reflect the soil changes in the monitored area, which can timely and accurately provide the soil moisture status of each monitoring point. Through the platform, real-time remote monitoring of farmland irrigation is carried out in accordance with the needs of crops.
4.3 Water consumption monitoring
LORA water meters are installed in each irrigation and monitoring area to automatically read the meters and display the water consumption, which can record and count the amount of water irrigated according to different crops, different areas and different times.
5. Irrigation methods/application scenarios
5.1 Sprinkler irrigation
5.2 Drip irrigation
5.3 Agriculture / greenhouse
5.4 Gardening/greening

7. Dashboard case
The "Irrigation Management" dashboard is designed to provision fields and related devices. It has multiple states:
- Main state allows you to list the fields and display them on the map. We assume that you might have multiple fields with various sensors for each field. We have provisioned two "fake" fields with number of devices for demonstration purposes.
- Click the "+" button in the top right corner of the fields table to create a new field. You may input the crop type and soil moisture thresholds;
- Click the field polygon on the map to open the field state;
- Field state allows you to manage irrigation schedule and devices. You may provision new schedule items. The schedule dialog will create scheduler events on the background. Click on the "Alarms" button to browse all alarms. You may also add sensors to the field if needed.
