This project presents the development of a low-cost, AIoT-based smart irrigation system designed to address water inefficiency in sandy soil conditions. Sandy soils have low water retention capacity, leading to rapid water drainage, excessive irrigation, and crop stress. To overcome these challenges, this system integrates real-time soil monitoring, rainwater utilization, and automated irrigation control.

The system utilizes multiple sensors to monitor soil moisture, temperature, and rainwater tank levels. Data is processed using the Cytron Maker Feather AIoT S3 (ESP32-based controller) with built-in WiFi capabilities, enabling seamless communication with the V-One Cloud dashboard for real-time monitoring and remote access. Based on sensor data, the system automatically controls irrigation through a servo-driven valve, ensuring optimal water usage.

By incorporating rainwater harvesting, this solution promotes sustainable water management while reducing dependency on external water sources. The system is designed to be affordable, scalable, and user-friendly, making it suitable for small-scale farmers, research applications, and smart agriculture initiatives.

Overall, this innovation transforms traditional irrigation into an intelligent, data-driven, and environmentally sustainable system, contributing to improved agricultural efficiency and water conservation.
