Urban agriculture has gained significant attention due to its potential to provide fresh produce in densely populated areas. However, managing irrigation in urban gardens poses challenges due to limited resources and space constraints. This paper presents the design and implementation of a Zigbee-based Low Power Wireless Sensor and Actuator Network (WSAN) tailored for automating urban garden irrigation systems. The proposed system aims to optimize water usage while ensuring adequate hydration for plants, thus promoting sustainable urban agriculture. The WSAN comprises sensor nodes distributed across the garden to monitor soil moisture levels and environmental parameters. Actuator nodes control irrigation valves based on real-time data and predefined thresholds. The Zigbee protocol enables low-power communication between nodes, extending network lifetime. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the WSAN in maintaining optimal soil moisture levels and reducing water wastage, thereby enhancing the efficiency of urban garden irrigation systems.
