Abstract: Agriculture is the spine of Indian Economy. It mainly depends on Irrigation. The Internet Of Things is used to farmers are easier to monitor and control water possessions. This paper proposed, IoT architecture customized for smart irrigation application. Arduino board is used to communicate a variety of sensors like ultrasonic, soil moistur and light sensors. This work managed to decrease the expenditure, diminish devastate water and diminish substantial individual edge. Relay is developed to organize the switching of solenoid. Also, the scheme preserved to measure the soil moisture. It controls the solenoid valve according to human. Graphical User Interface (GUI) connected withAndroid application to motivate watering movement. SMS alert moreover sent to the home user in critical situations. 
Keywords: IoT, Soil moisture sensor, ultrasonic sensor, light sensor, Arduino board.
