<jats:p>In this research the Internet of Things (IoT) based smart irrigation system is developed for large scale farming to ensure appropriate water management as well as to minimize unnecessary water utilization. This system can control water wastage for irrigation purpose by using wireless sensor network (WSN) and IoT. Each WSN node contains a unit of combined sensors which has been made by several external sensors such as soil moisture, soil pH, and temperature sensor along with Node MCU for data transmission in the cloud. Other nodes are distributed in the field to collect field data for different positions and this information is sent to the server. Data processing and analysis are performed according to the proposed algorithm. Obtained result as well as weather forecasting report is checked for three days from a developed android app. The accomplished result is sent to the farmers through SMS; depending upon the SMS, farmers take necessary steps for watering or not in the crops field through IoT. Using the particular sensors in this system along with microcontroller board plays an important aspect for bringing automation for a particular model. In this work wireless sensor technology in irrigation purposes can show the direction to the rural farming community to replace some of the traditional techniques.</jats:p>
