Smart IoT Watering Platform Based on Orchestration: A Case Study

Abstract:

When we talk about a smart city we refer to a city that has changed its traditional management to a smart one being able to respond to its citizens to every-thing that is part of their daily life making it more sustainable and improving their quality of life with the implementation of information and communication technologies, an example is the present smart irrigation system for parks that with its application helps to optimize water consumption by irrigating the right amount, according to the climatic and soil conditions and depending to the needs of the plants, achieving that the exact water is consumed, at the right time and where it is required through the acquisition of information from field sensors, visualization and control in real time that allow the efficient use and management of resources and that through orchestration can coordinate and sequence the different processes present in a smart city. The system uses an ESP32 module to receive the environmental measurements of soil humidity and temperature which are stored in a database and later displayed on a website configured to supervise and control the status of irrigation. The physical configuration of the system allows the irrigation control actions to be carried out in both manual and automatic modes. The main water pump can be activated by an operator or when all the control conditions are met. The logical container decomposition of the architecture is done using the software Docker Host so that their administration can be done with the implementation of Kubernet containers.
