The population of India mostly depends on agriculture. Agriculture contributes most of the part of the Indian economy. There is a hindrance to agriculture due to the migration of the people from the ruler area to an urban area. To stop this migration, there is a need for advancement in the agriculture field. The traditional irrigation system required lots of manual intervention, manpower and time. This can be minimized by an automatic smart agriculture system. An automatic smart agriculture system can be saving the time, money and power of the farmer. Smart agriculture is an emerging idea because sensors are capable of providing real-time information about the agriculture field.   In this paper, smart agriculture based on the internet of Things has been proposed. This system uses the advantages of new technology such as NodeMCU, IoT and Wireless sensor networks. The main aim of this approach is the making use of a new era of technology i.e. IoT for smart farming automation. This system monitors the temperature, humidity, moisture using the respective sensor and upload to the cloud using NodeMCU.
