APPLICATION OF IOT - AGRICULTURE

 APPLICATION OF IOT - AGRICULTURE

                     Since sensors were  introduced in agricultural operations. But from that sensors we were not able to get live data from the sensors. By the introduction of IOT in agriculture , far advanced sensors are being utilised. The sensors are now connected to the cloud through cellular/satellite network , from that we get the real time data and to take decisions effectively.

                    It keeps various factors like humidity , temperature, soil etc., under check and gives a crystal clear real time observations. Hence, it is an application  of implementing connected devices and innovative technologies together into agriculture.

                   IOT in agriculture has come up as a second green revolution. It has helped  the farmers  in two ways by decrease their costs and increase their yields.

CLIMATE CONDITIONS: 

                     The climate plays a critical role in farming. We are unable to predict the condition of climate accurately. But by the application of IOT , we are able to know the real time weather conditions, by the use of many sensors that detect the weather conditions. The sensors monitor the condition of crops and the weather conditions surrounding them. If any disturbing weather conditions are found, then an alert is send to the farmer.

SMART GREENHOUSE:

                    IOT has enabled weather stations to automatically adjust the climate conditions according to a particular set of instructions to make our own greenhouse smart. For example: Using  solar - powered IOT sensors builds modern and inexpensive greenhouses.

AGRICULTURAL DRONES:

                   The introduction of agricultural drones in the agricultural operations is the trending disruption. The ground and the aerial drones are used to asses the crop health, planting, crop monitoring, crop spraying and field analysis. Drones with thermal or multispectral sensors indicate their vegetation index.

                      

                    

HOME AUTOMATION - IOT

 HOME AUTOMATION - IOT

                          Home automation by using IOT is a system that uses mobile devices or computers to control basic home activities and features automatically through internet  from anywhere around the world. An automated home is sometimes called as smart home. It means that, to save the electric power and human energy.

                       For example:fan, lights,outdoor lights, fire alarm, Kitchen timer etc., can be controlled using various control techniques.

                        Home automation may include centralized control of lighting,HVAC (heating,ventilation,and air conditioning),appliances, security locks of gates and doors and other systems, to provide improved convenience energy efficiency and security.

                         The essential components and materials for home automation using IOT project can be listed as a Wifi module, opto-coupler,TRIAC,resistors, capacitors, diode,regulator,loads(home appliances).

                         Sensors like motion sensors, temperature sensors, light intensity sensors, smoke detectors, humidity sensors etc.,are being accomodated with home automation and the data from these sensors would further be used to analysed to understand the use patterns  and in turn with deep learning used for the intelligence of the devices itself.

 Smart lighting ideas:

• On pressing one button all the lights turn on for a given room
• On double tap the same button to turn off all the lights in the room
• Landscape lighting can turn on automatically at sunset and off again at sunrise 

Smart security ideas:

• Automate your bedroom touch screen to see who is at the door when the bell rings from your front door or gate intercom
• Receive a text message when your security cameras detect motion
• Set a timer that closes the garage door automatically if it is left open for longer than 10 minutes. A motion sensor is used to keep the door open when you are working in the garage.

Everyday alerts and notifications:

• Receive a text alert when a garage door is left open.
• Receive an automatic text alert for a problematic event, such as pipe leak in the basement.
• Get a text message or push notification when the kids get home from school.
• Receive a text notification when its time to take medication.
