Arduino Based Smart Plant Watering System

Abstract

The team worked on the Arduino based automatic plant watering system with a built in pump and a water tank .This system is useful especially for user’s who have a day travel a lot as this system can water plants only when necessary without any human intervention .What makes our project unique than the other innovations in the current market from watering plants is it’s built in function which allows the user to be updated from time to time about the status and plant . Proper watering is exigent for the plants and trees which are grown in containers. Many people un surmounted to take good care of expensive plants or trees like Bonsai because of improper timing or lack of watering. An automated system which is capable of perceiving the proper situation of watering plants can be convenient in this regard. In this paper, a micro-controller board Arduino has been used, which has an ATMEGA 328p chip in it. A couple of sensors are integrated into it for detecting daylight, moisture of soil and water level in the plant’s pot. A program has been set to the Arduino to take the norm from the sensor, comparing the retrieved value with our predefined standard threshold and turn on or off the water pump according to the plants need. A message alert system has been set to notify the owner if there is any problem in supplying water from the main source.
