Smart Agriculture using Internet of Things and MQTT Protocol

Abstract

Changes in rainfall and climate has become very sporadic for the last decade. Indian farmers have to use artificial methods called smart agriculture, to tackle these in recent periods. In this smart agriculture technique, we will use Internet of Things (IOT), club it with the rising, wireless networking concept, Message Queuing Telemetry Tracking (MQTT), to monitor the real time agricultural environment. Rapidly developing IOT is applied in many wireless environments. A Remote Monitoring Station (RMS), which combines internet and wireless communications, is suggested. The major aim is to collect instantaneous data of agricultural field atmosphere using MQTT, CC3200 by Texas Instruments and sensors, send it to the RMS, so that the farmers can be informed about proper maintenance of the fields and thus maintain ideal crop growing environment.
