Automation of farm activities can transform agricultural domain from being manual and static to intelligent and dynamic leading to higher production with lesser human supervision. In this paper we propose an automated irrigation system which monitors and maintains the desired soil moisture content via automatic watering. Microcontroller Node MCU ESP8266 platform is used to implement the control unit. The setup uses soil moisture sensors which measure the exact moisture level in soil. This value enables the system to use appropriate quantity of water which avoids over/under irrigation. IOT is used to keep the farmers updated about the status of sprinklers. Information from the sensors is regularly updated on BLYNK APP through which a farmer can check whether the water sprinklers are ON/OFF at any given time. Also, the sensor readings are transmitted to a Thing BLYNK channel to generate graphs for analysis. Our system is connected to the weather forecasting and by seeing all the conditions it will perform all the functions.
