Therefore the parameters associated with the agriculture like temperature, humidity, rain, moisture etc., are collected with the assistance of sensors and notified immediately to the farmers using IoT technology. The agriculture system proposed is integrated with IoT, Raspberry Pi and sensors to enhance the agricultural efficiency. Live information feed is obtained online from thingspeak.com. In this system, all the activities in farming are monitored and controlled by farmers from pre-farming to post-farming with the assistance of this mobile devices and be advised 24*7. Animal detection is added advantage to the present system by detecting the presence of animal and offers a warning. Animal interference in residential areas is increasing day by day which affects the life of human and natural properties. This system is feasible to prevent both animal and human life.
