In the Nigerian economy, agriculture plays a very important role, and most of its people depend on it for their livelihood. Agricultural practices in the country are still mainly based on conventional, traditional methods of farming which usually results in wastage of water resources and low production of crops to meet the country's demand. There is a need to transform farming from the traditional way to a more efficient method with optimum water utilization. Irrigation is an assistive measure to salvage the problem of inadequate water for dry season farming. Irrigation consumes a lot of water, time and must be done on a timely basis. The automated irrigation system helps to curb the problem of overwatering and under watering of the land. This research proposed an Arduino-based smart irrigation system using a wireless sensor network to overcome the problem of overwatering, underwatering, and efficient time utilization in farming. The system is implemented using Arduino IDE, Proteus Simulation Tools, and Blynk Platform. The effect of the four-mobile network: MTN, GLO, Airtel and 9mobile on response time for Gidan- Kwano area was evaluated. Testing carried out on the system resulted in a response time of 0.75 seconds for Glo 2G network and 0.45 seconds for Glo 4G network. Less than 1sec in the worst-case scenario. This makes the system effective in terms of time response, thereby eradicate the waste of time that manual system operation poised to irrigation scheduling. Also, the appropriate soil moisture content is maintained, whether it rains or not. This reduces excesses and ensures healthy plant growth, increasing agricultural productivity, and cultivating crops are made possible throughout the year. The system also will help in driving agricultural innovation through the use of IoT.

<p><em>Abstrak</em> - <strong>Keamanan rumah menjadi hal yang sangat penting ketika pemilik rumah meninggalkan rumah dalam keadaan kosong. Selain pencurian, kebakaran juga merupakan masalah yang sering kali terjadi ketika rumah ditinggal pemiliknya. Sebagai alternatif solusi untuk menjaga dan mengawasi rumah yang diajukan pada penelitian ini ialah menggunakan teknologi Jaringan Sensor Nirkabel yang terintegrasi dengan jaringan internet, sehingga pemilik rumah tetap dapat mengawasi keadaan rumah dari jarak jauh. Pada penelitian ini dirancang prototype sistem rumah pintar atau Smart Home yang memanfaatkan teknologi Jaringan Sensor Nirkabel menggunakan standard Zigbee. Beberapa node sensor ditempatkan pada peralatan rumah, dimana setiap node dapat saling berkomunikasi secara wireless dan terpusat di node kordinator. Selanjutnya node kordinatior akan terhubung ke jaringan internet sehingga pemilik rumah dapat membuka aplikasi smart home kapan saja dan dimana saja. Rancangan sistem <em>Smart Home</em> disimulasikan menggunakan rumah model untuk menguji kinerja perangkat <em>Smart Home</em>. Pengujian kinerja Smart Home dimulai dengan pengujian keakurasian masing masing data sensor hingga waktu respon komunikasi dari sensor ke pusat monitoring. Tingkat error pembacaan suhu disetiap ruangan ialah 1 - 4.27%. Sensor PIR berhasil mendeteksi keberadaan orang di suatu ruangan dengan waktu delay </strong><strong>adalah 2.8 detik dengan jarak maksimal 5 meter</strong><strong>. Fungsi kendali dan monitoring (<em>on/off</em>) perangkat elektronik bekerja dengan baik, dengan waktu respon kurang dari 1 detik. Dari hasil pengujian komunikasi nirkabel antar node, diperoleh bahwa jarak maksimal antar node ialah sekitar 20 m, dengan rata-rata waktu respon pengiriman data ialah 1-2 detik. Adapun waktu respon mengalami delay mencapai 2 detik apabila beberapa perintah kendali dilakukan pada waktu yang bersamaan.</strong></p><p> </p><p><strong><em>Kata Kunci - </em></strong><em>Smart Home</em>, Jaringan Sensor Nirkabel, Zigbee.</p><p> </p><p><em>Abstrak</em><strong> - Home security becomes very important when homeowners leave the house empty. In addition to theft, fire is also a problem that often occurs when the house left the owner. As an alternative solution to maintain and supervise the homes submitted in this study is to use Wireless Sensor Network technology integrated with the Internet network, so that homeowners can still monitor the state of the house remotely. In this study designed prototype smart home system or Smart Home which utilizes Wireless Sensor Network technology using Zigbee standard. Some sensor nodes are placed in the home equipment, where each node can communicate wirelessly and centrally at the coordinator node. Next node coordinate will be connected to the internet network so that homeowners can open smart home application anytime and anywhere. The Smart Home system design is simulated using a home model to test the performance of Smart Home devices. Smart Home performance testing begins with testing the accuracy of each sensor data until the communication response time from the sensor to the monitoring center. The error rate of temperature readings in each room is 1 - 4.27%. PIR sensor successfully detects the presence of people in a room with a delay time is 2.8 seconds with a maximum distance of 5 meters. The control and monitoring functions (on / off) of electronic devices work well, with a response time of less than 1 second. From the results of testing wireless communication between nodes, obtained that the maximum distance between nodes is about 20 m, with the average response time of data transmission is 1-2 seconds. The response time has a delay of 2 seconds if some control commands are done at the same time.</strong><strong></strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong><em>Keywords - </em></strong> <em>Smart Home</em>, Jaringan Sensor Nirkabel, Zigbee.</p>

Abstract The paper showcases the system used for automating agriculture using wireless sensor network (WSN) and weather prediction. WSN, is more efficient than IoT as it avoids connecting all the sensor nodes directly to Internet, thus reducing the traffic over Internet and energy consumption of the sensor network. The system consists of a clustered tree topology to increase the range of operation, connectivity and easily connect new nodes dynamically. The sensor nodes being the leaves, local gateways being the branches and the global gateway being the root node. The system is implemented using cost effective micro-controllers, robust communication modules and reliable data showcasing platforms. Our implementation uses weather prediction to minimize the water needed for irrigation. Thereby minimizing cost and increasing efficient usage of resources.
