Automated Plant Watering system
Automated plant watering system is considered as one of the most commonly used and beneficial automated systems nowadays which help people in their daily activities by reducing or completely replacing their labor regarding irrigation of the plants. This system uses sensor technology along with microcontroller and other electronics in order to behave like smart switching system which senses soil moisture level and irrigates the plant if necessary and also controls how much water reaches them.
ØThe main objective of this project is to design a system that uses sensor technology along with microcontroller and other electronics in order to behave like smart switching system which senses soil moisture level and irrigates the plant if necessary and also controls how much water reaches them.
The main working principle behind this system is in
connecting the soil moisture sensor, which was previously
embedded into the plant, to the Arduino microcontroller,
which is also connected to other electronic components. Measurement of soil
moisture is done by the sensor which forwards the information
and parameters regarding the soil moisture to the
microcontroller, which controls the pump. If the level of
soil moisture drops below a certain value, the microcontroller
sends the signal to the relay module which then
runs a pump and certain amount of water is delivered to
the plant. Once enough water is delivered, the pump
stops doing its work. Power supply has a task to power the
complete system and the recommended voltage should respect
the input supply range for the microcontroller, that
is, from 7V to 12V.
As one possible agricultural application, this system can be very helpful in keeping vegetables and other useful plants watered for bigger harvest, which enables farmers from all around the world to breed crops of those plants which are most wanted and most commonly used in diet.
