| dc.description.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. | en_US |
