Abstract: The rapidly advancing mobile communication technology and the decrease in costs make it possible to incorporate mobile technology into home. This project proposed an embedded system for automatic control of irrigation. This paper on “FARMER ALERT SYSTEM” gives an elaborate view and understanding of the project design and functioning. The paper is divided into parts for explaining the step by step development of the project. For farmers irrigating crops with the exactly right amount of water is a tedious task, especially when they have to walk a long distance to the irrigation pump in the mid-night to check whether any problem has occurred. Therefore we are trying to make a system which would remotely turn on and off the irrigation motor, detect jamming of the motor and immediately shut it down, send back a message to operator, if an error has occurred. GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) is used for the communication with the user.
Keywords: Android, GSM module, MCB, microcontroller, regulated power supply, SMS.
