Abstract: Monitoring the electric water pump through internet of things (IOT) is the main objective of this project. Today, in this modern and developing world everyone wants their needs to be fulfilled in more feasible way at the same time with maximum efficiency. Growth in technology made humans to search for new methods where one could meet the same old requirements with less human effort. The process of switching ON or OFF of a motor has become a problem. It has become very difficult for us to look after the motor every time, to overcome this situation we have come up with an idea of using IOT. The switching ON and OFF of the motor is done with the sensor which we have integrated along. The sensor will automatically switch on when the moisture of the soil goes down below preset value and switches off automatically, as required for a specified crop/soil. This not only efficiencies the crop, but also saves electricity as well time. to ease of use. It also takes the surrounding environment conditions like temperature and uploads directly to the server.
