IoT (Internet of Things) Automation - Smart Irrigation System

 

Notes:

• Problem Solved: Activates irrigation based on soil moisture data and weather forecast.

• Customization Benefits: Calibrate for crop types or integrate with APIs.

• Further Adoption: Link with physical relay systems and IoT dashboards.

Python Code:

import requests

def should_irrigate(moisture_level, weather_api_key):

    if moisture_level > 30:

        return False

    forecast = requests.get(f"https://api.weatherapi.com/v1/forecast.json?key={weather_api_key}&q=your_city&days=1").json()

    rain_chance = forecast['forecast']['forecastday'][0]['day']['daily_chance_of_rain']

    return rain_chance < 50

# Example usage

if should_irrigate(moisture_level=25, weather_api_key='your_api_key'):

    print("Activate irrigation.")

else:

    print("Irrigation not needed.")
