Automatic Plant Watering System using Soil Moisture Sensor

Description

The Automatic Plant Watering System using a Soil Moisture Sensor is a practical solution designed to automate the process of watering plants. It operates by continuously monitoring the moisture content of the soil using a dedicated sensor. When the sensor detects that the soil has dried below a set threshold, the system activates a water pump to deliver the necessary amount of water to the plant.

This system is controlled by a microcontroller, such as an Arduino, which receives input from the sensor and controls the water pump through a relay module. Once the soil reaches the desired moisture level, the system automatically turns off the pump, preventing overwatering. This ensures efficient water usage and helps maintain optimal conditions for plant growth.

Designed for indoor plants, home gardens, and small-scale agricultural use, the system offers convenience for users who may not be available to water plants regularly. It can be powered by a standard adapter or battery, making it versatile and easy to install in different environments.

With a focus on low maintenance and energy efficiency, the system can also be expanded with additional features such as digital displays, wireless connectivity, or solar power. It serves as a reliable and cost-effective tool for promoting healthy plant care through automation.
