Abstract:

As water supplies become scarce and polluted, there is an urgent need to irrigate more efficiently in order to optimize water use. In this paper, we present a WSN based, smart homeirrigation system that consists of heterogeneous motes, special sensors and actuators. The system is fully adaptive not only to environmental conditions but also to the specific water needs that different plants may have. This way, it manages to perform efficient home irrigation, while it provides an IPv6-capable managing system. Copyright 2011 ACM.
