The increase in technological innovation has made it possible to take full advantage of crop production. The need of a more proficient irrigation system is important for the maximization of crops and the most efficient means of achieving this is with the use of internet of things to control and monitor farms status. Smart irrigation is a very germane component of precision agriculture as it helps farmers to avoid water wastage and improve the quality of crop growth in their fields by reducing evapotranspiration, land runoff and advancing other old usage methods among others. This research aims to use a smart irrigation system to control water distributed to crops. The system does so by connecting the irrigation system and the user's Smartphone through the internet and automating the process of irrigation with computer programming and micro computing. This research was implemented using a microcomputer, internet driver, water pipes and C++ programming language was used with Virtuino for the design of the user interface. The system was tested and the result was 95.5% efficient.
