The system 100 is having an inlet 206 connected to source of fluid and an outlet 208 connected to an external flow system. The external flow system comprises a pipe selected in a predefined size for supplying the fluid to a predefined area selected for irrigation.

[0035] The at least one controller 202 is then configured to generate one or more commands according to the irrigation scheduling data for scheduling the irrigation. The one or more commands comprises at least one of start time and end time for scheduling the irrigation, a rate of flow of fluid, a quantity of release of fluid, opening and closing of mechanical valve in the irrigation set-up, and an emergency stop.

[0037] As shown in Figure 2, the system 100 further comprises the control assembly 204 having an irrigation set-up 210 connected to the external flow system. The irrigation set-up 210 is configured for setting the one or more scheduling parameters for scheduling the irrigation according to the one or more commands. The irrigation set-up 210 is further configured for initiating the irrigation according to one or more scheduling parameters in real-time. The irrigation is scheduled according tO the one or more scheduling parameters are set according to the one or more commands.

[0038] The one or more scheduling parameters comprises at least one of a rate of flow of a fluid, release quantity of the fluid, a time period for releasing the fluid, wherein the fluid comprises at least one of a water, and a fertilizer mixed in water.

[0039] The control assembly 204 further comprises a power supply 212 for supplying power to the control assembly 204. The power system 212 comprising one of an adapter, a solar module, or a battery.

[0041] In an exemplary embodiment, details of the irrigation- set up 210 will now be discussed. Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3(a) in combination, the irrigation set-up 210 comprises of a mechanical valve 214 having one or more sensors (flow sensors) 216. The mechanical valve 214 (or simply valve) is configured for defining an angle or gate open percentage of the mechanical valve 214, for setting a rate of flow of fluid according to the one or more commands. The mechanical valve 214 is used for opening, closing, and controlling water flow in the pipeline (the external flow system). Shaft of the mechanical valve 214 is attached with a motor 218 (discussed later). In initial condition the motor 218 rotate at an angle such that the mechanical valve 214 is closed, and after receiving the one or more commands, the water flow is started then control command is transmitted to the motor 214 and servo control position of the mechanical valve opening for desired flow rate and volume. [001] The flow sensor 216 monitors the flow rate based on which the mechanical valve 214 is adjusted to reach a specified angle. The valve 214 is adjusted until the valve 214 enables a required quantity of flow as well as the flow rate controlled through a flow meter 220.

[002] In another example, the system 100 may receive irrigation schedule data from the user for opening the complete valve 214 and initiate the irrigation for a desired time period as specified by the user. The flow sensor 216 then monitors the time-period and closes the valve 214 once the time period is over. In any of the schedule of irrigation, the emergency stop command may be executed once the instructions are received from the user.

A water rotor is present along with a hall effect sensor (used as the flow sensor 216) for sensing and measuring the water flow. The water flow sensors provide a digital pulse each time an amount of water passes through the pipe (external flow system). The output of the water flow sensor may easily be connected to the at least one controller 202 for monitoring water usage volume and current flow rate of line.

[003] In an exemplary embodiment, referring to Figure 3(b) the water flow sensor is shown.

One or more ICs used in the PCB 502 include ATmega328 au, LM2596, LM7805.

[0012] Figure 6 shows an exemplary model of the system 100 in a rectangular box type shape containing all components of the system inside showing inlet 206 and the outlet 208. In another embodiment, the system 100 may also be configured without requiring any rectangular box type shape and independent of any outer box.

[0013] In an exemplary embodiment, the system 100 also generates alerts to be sent to user. The alerts are generated based on sensing of the irrigation scheduling data.

The system 100 then generates one or more commands according to the irrigation scheduling data (as discussed in description of system 100) and the one or more commands are executed for initiating the irrigation process in real-time.

[0042] In an exemplary embodiment, working of the system 100 along with the electronic device 900 will now be explained. Once the user logs in through the electronic device 900, the user accesses the system 100. After the area for the irrigation is selected, the user defines or selects the quantity of fluid (water or fertilizer) and specified rate of flow as the scheduling parameter. The user may also select or set a specified time for opening the mechanical valve completely or partially as the scheduling parameter. In an example, the user may also select execution of the emergency stop as the command for stopping the irrigation.

[0043] In an exemplary embodiment, the user receives alerts over the electronic device 900. The alerts are generated based on sensing of the irrigation scheduling data. The irrigations scheduling data comprises water level increase in case of rain and then the system 100 generates the alert notifying the user about the water level in the area. The user may accordingly enable execution of the emergency stop command to immediately stop the water flow and closure of valve. [0044] Exemplary embodiments discussed above may provide certain advantages. Though not required to practice aspects of the disclosure, these advantages may include those provided by the following features.

[0045] Some embodiments of the system 100, the electronic device 900 and the method 700 and 1100 is configured to schedule and facilitate automatic irrigation.

[0046] Some embodiments of the system 100, the electronic device 900 and the method 700 and 1100 is configured to remotely control irrigation scheduling parameters for scheduling the irrigation.

[0047] Although implementations for system 100, the electronic device 900 and the method 700 and 1100 for facilitating scheduling of irrigation have been described, it is to be understood that the appended claims are not necessarily limited to the specific features or methods described. Rather, the specific features and methods are disclosed as examples of implementations for monitoring the activity in the process.
