Challange: CLIMATE CHANGE

Higher Temperatures

Changing Landscapes and Wildlife Habitat

Rising Seas

Increased Risk of Storms, Droughts, and Floods

Communities at Risk

Economic Impact

Forests help protect the planet by absorbing massive amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2), the most abundant type of pollution that causes climate change. Unfortunately, forests are currently being destroyed or damaged at an alarming rate. Logging and clearing land for agriculture or livestock release huge amounts of carbon dioxide and other harmful greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. It also diminishes those regions’ ability to absorb carbon pollution.

13% Scientists estimate up to 13 percent of global carbon emissions come from deforestation – greater than emissions from every car, truck and plane on the planet combined.

The only way we can overcome all this challenge is if each of us contribute towards this and the only way a common man can do this is by having a few plants at home. But it's not possible for everyone to manage and handle plants on a daily basis due to the busy schedule and lack of skills...but no more worries because AutoWats is here!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WHY AutoWats?

  1. 100% Automatic!
  2. Satisfies 3 Rs
  3. Cheap ($20- FULL SET)
  4. Won't break by slight SHOCKS.


1. 100% Automatic- You just need to do the 'SIMPLEST Setup' and that;'s it.

Later on, you'll just change the battries in Tapo yearly (IN THE FUTURE UPDATES I WILL MAKE THIS AUTOMATIC BY ADDING A ELECTRICITY GENERATOR IN THE SOLENOID VALVE OPENING WHICH WILL USE THE FORCE OF WATER TO GENERATE ELECTRICITY)

2. Satisfies 3 Rs-

Recycle- Both the parts are made of PP-

Polypropylene is a polymer plastic that is a member of the 'polyolefin' (polymers produced from alkenes) family. It is a highly versatile material that has many beneficial physical properties, and most importantly it is also recyclable.

Reuse- If you don't want to use them anymore(THIS WILL PROBABLY NEVER EVER HAPPEN BECAUSE ONCE YOU USE IT YOU WILL FALL IN LOVE AutoWats) you can just takeout the stuff inside the container and then use the cases as CONTAINERS after a wash.

Reduce- The size of AutoWats is the smallest compared to anyother plant watering system in the market and also, the low height and long HxB of Tapo makes it VERY STYABLE and the CONE SHAPE of Planti improves it's balance.

3. Cheap- If we actually add all the cost of the components used this project at BULK RAT then the cost I am getting is around 20 bucks (USD).

4. Balance- As mentioned above, Tapo is protected with a thick layer of protective plastic which makes shock proof and Planti balances soooooo well that it has NO HOPES OF FALLING making AutoWats(Tapo + Planti) SHOCKPROOF.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SIMPLEST Setup:

1. Just take Planti, turn the switch on & and insert it in your pot.

2. Turn on Tapo Connect Tapo to you tap and then attach the pipes on the other end of Tapo, and put them in your pots, garden and bushes.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Summary: AutoWats is a revolutionary plant watering system which is designed for the use of common people and is completely (100%) wireless.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Working: Planti receives the inputs from it's sensors, then sends it to Tapo using 433mhx rf transmitter module (wireless connectivity module for communicating between two Arduinos), Tapo then acts according to the inputs received from Planti via reciever and decides whether the plants should be watered or not and also sends the values recieved to the app which then displays the real time data.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Brain & Heart:

1) Planti: This is put in a pot or any part of a home garden using the pointy needles (soil moisture sensors). This is charged using a solar panel and never requires any other power source.

(2) Tapo: This is attached to a tap or tank ( or any other water supply). This waters the plants whenever need based on the inputs it receives from Planti (more of the working is explained in the 'working' section). This needs to be connected to a bluetooth or internet connection either by wifi or ethernet.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Problem: To deal with the biggest threat on humanity 'Climate Change'. This includes all the issues like global warming, depleting water resources etc. and save the world and humanity from such disastrous threats because all the problems we see are the results of our deeds and therefore it is completely our responsibility to get rid of it. Most people say that "one must leave such things on god", but I don't believe this because as Dashrat Manjhi( The man who broke mountain) once said "Don't rely on god, who knows if he's relying on you".

WE NEED TO MAKE THE CHANGE !

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Solution: The only way we can overcome all this challenge is if each of us contribute towards this and the only way a common man can do this is by having a few plants at home. But it's not possible for everyone to manage and handle plants on a daily basis due to the busy schedule and lack of skills...but no more worries because AutoWats is here!

Components:

1. Arduino UNO

2. Arduino Micro

3. ESP8266 or HC-06

4. 433mhz RF receiver and transmitter

5. Jumper Wires

6. Breadboard

7. Solenoid Valve

8. Resistors

9. Transistors

10. Sensors

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Clarifications:

1. The values are sent by Tapo to the app and not directly by Planti because its closer to the internet as its near the tap which is usually inside the house.

2. This model is designed for the use of common people and not farms because farms already have high cost and efficient systems designed for the commercial use.Thank you very much for providing this amazing opportunity,
