Abstract: Modern agriculture system involves an automation technology (AT) which supports formers to do their activities at maximum extent. This paper proposes a wireless smart automation (WSA) influencing IoT system that supports mobile user interface for real time crop field monitoring and controlling. It reduces effect of manual interpretation for agriculture farming and field monitoring. It deploys a dedicated global server for user control accessibility anywhere around the world. Thereby, the drones are operated from smart mobile which have unique IP connectivity for secure authentication Arduino UNO microcontroller. The major advantage of the proposed system allows continuous crop field monitoring and ensures limited usage of pesticides and fertilisers. Additionally, user can monitor their farm field by using unified Android mobile app and thus, ensure delay difference between turn ON and OFF state by 2 seconds irrespective of any load conditions at any time.

Keywords: wireless smart automation (WSA) with IoT system; Arduino UNO microcontroller; automation technology; IoT system; crop field monitoring; user control accessibility.
