A wireless design of low-cost irrigation and Security system using Zigbee technology Abstract At present, labor-saving and water-saving

technology is a key issue in irrigation. A wireless solution for intelligent field irrigation system ,based on Zigbee technology was proposed in this paper. Instead of conventional wired connection, the wireless design made the system easy installation and maintenance. The hardware architecture and software algorithm of wireless sensor/actuator node and portable controller, acting as the end device and coordinator in Zigbee wireless sensor network respectively, were elaborated in detail. The performance of the whole system was evaluated in the end. The long-time smooth and proper running of the system in the field proved its high reliability and practicability. As an explorative application of wireless sensor network in irrigation management, this paper offered a methodology to establish large scale remote intelligent irrigation system. People now are working actively at intelligent irrigation systems because their advantages of labor-saving and water saving. Wireless technology, known for its easy installation and maintenance, is thought preponderant to develop automatic irrigation network and becoming a hot research. The development, testing, and use of an integrated distributed wireless sensor network (WSN) that utilizes zigbee technology are presented in this paper for sensor-based variable rate irrigation systems. The WSN eliminates the need to hard wire sensor stations across the field and reduces installation and maintenance costs. The WSN uses an zigbee network, i.e., a mobile wireless network. Compared with a wireless local area network (WLAN), zigbee networks have advantages for agricultural applications, because the mobility and self configuration are more suitable for a distributed sensor network in fields. The objective of this paper is to report the design, construction, and testing of a distributed in-field WSN, a remote motor valve control, and user-friendly software for real time in-field sensing and control of a variable rate irrigation system
