| Summary: | This paper is to aim in designing a system which is capable of detecting
moisture level in the soil and capable of taking the decision of switching
ON/OFF water pump in irrigation system. The microcontroller, Arduino forms
the heart of the device for detecting the moisture in the soil and is programmed
with the Arduino software. This project involves the development an automatic
watering system that utilizes sensor that determines soil moisture level and
water level designator additionally its pumping system that aims to distribute
the needed water predicated on the assigned soil moisture value. The reading
of the soil sensor is above 70%, the water pump will turn off, and when it is
below 70%, the water pump will turn on until the soil sensor reading returns to
normal. As a result of this project, the prototype successfully operated in line
with the simulation. As the results at 1pm, 4th June 2024 with temperature 28oC,
humidity is 73% the higher volume of water is 5.5ml with 5-minute water
pumps was on. Next, the results for solar PV as main supply, the high output
voltage is 14.8V at 2pm, 14th and 16th June 2024. As conclusion, this project
has successfully achieved all the stated objectives and performs its desired
functions, such as measuring humidity levels, temperature values, and soil
moisture levels. This innovative system enhances plant care by providing users
with real-time data and potential also ensuring optimal growing conditions and
convenience for plant conditions. |
