Supabase Cloud Functions and

Integration with Smart Irrigation System


- Summary
Supabase Cloud Functions offer powerful, serverless code execution capabilities for various
automation tasks, especially in projects like smart irrigation systems. This document
summarizes the key points on how to leverage Cloud Functions with Flutter and Supabase,
providing a structured approach for practical applications.

1. Overview of Cloud Functions in Supabase


Supabase Cloud Functions allow you to run server-side code in response to events or HTTP
requests. They are serverless, meaning you don't need to manage any infrastructure. Cloud
Functions are ideal for tasks like complex data processing, external service integration, and
reacting to sensor data in smart irrigation systems.

2. Use Cases of Cloud Functions in Smart Irrigation System

2.1. Moisture Level Based Irrigation Control


In a smart irrigation system, Cloud Functions can analyze real-time moisture data and
decide whether to activate or deactivate the irrigation system based on the moisture level. If
the moisture drops below a defined threshold, Cloud Functions can automatically trigger
the irrigation.

Example JavaScript function for moisture-based control:

export async function irrigationControl(req, res) {


const { moistureLevel, threshold } = req.body;

if (moistureLevel < threshold) {


await turnOnIrrigationSystem();
res.status(200).send({ message: 'Irrigation system activated.' });
} else {
await turnOffIrrigationSystem();
res.status(200).send({ message: 'Irrigation system deactivated.' });
}
}
2.2. Weather-Based Irrigation Control
Cloud Functions can be integrated with weather APIs to control the irrigation system. If rain
is expected, the function can prevent unnecessary watering, saving resources.

Example weather-based control function:

export async function weatherCheck(req, res) {


const { location } = req.body;

const weatherData = await fetchWeather(location);

if (weatherData.isRainingSoon) {
await deactivateIrrigation();
res.status(200).send({ message: 'Irrigation stopped due to upcoming rain.' });
} else {
res.status(200).send({ message: 'No rain expected. Irrigation will continue.' });
}
}

3. Integration with Realtime Updates


Supabase Realtime allows you to track live updates to the database, such as changes in
moisture sensor readings. Cloud Functions can react to these updates and trigger actions
such as starting or stopping irrigation.

3.1. Realtime Moisture Update


A Cloud Function can be triggered in real-time when new moisture readings are inserted
into the database. If the reading indicates low moisture, the function activates the irrigation
system.

Example of real-time moisture update handling:

export async function realtimeIrrigation(req, res) {


const { moistureLevel, threshold } = req.body;

if (moistureLevel < threshold) {


await activateIrrigation();
res.status(200).send({ message: 'Irrigation system activated via Realtime update.' });
} else {
res.status(200).send({ message: 'Moisture levels are sufficient, no irrigation needed.' });
}
}

4. Task Scheduling with Supabase Functions


Supabase Cloud Functions support task scheduling, which allows you to set specific times
for tasks such as activating or deactivating the irrigation system. You can schedule irrigation
at specific times of the day or at regular intervals.

Example of a scheduled irrigation task:

export async function scheduledIrrigation(req, res) {


const { scheduledTime } = req.body;

const currentTime = new Date();


if (currentTime >= new Date(scheduledTime)) {
await activateIrrigation();
res.status(200).send({ message: 'Irrigation activated at the scheduled time.' });
} else {
res.status(200).send({ message: 'Not the scheduled time yet.' });
}
}

5. Integration with External Services


Supabase Cloud Functions can integrate with external services like Twilio for sending SMS
alerts, weather APIs for forecast-based irrigation control, or even Firebase for push
notifications. These integrations allow you to extend the capabilities of your smart
irrigation system and improve its functionality.

Example of sending an SMS notification using Twilio:

import twilio from 'twilio';

export async function notifyFarmer(req, res) {


const { farmerPhone, message } = req.body;

const client = twilio('TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID', 'TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN');

client.messages
.create({
body: message,
from: '+1234567890',
to: farmerPhone
})
.then(message => res.status(200).send({ message: 'SMS sent successfully' }))
.catch(error => res.status(500).send({ message: 'Error sending SMS', error }));
}

Conclusion
Supabase Cloud Functions offer flexible and scalable serverless solutions that can be
seamlessly integrated with smart irrigation systems. By utilizing functions for moisture and
weather-based control, real-time updates, task scheduling, and external service integration,
you can create a highly automated and efficient irrigation system.
