WaterTimeA Wireless Soil Moisture Monitor This project is a wireless soil moisture monitor for gardening. It is a battery-operated unit that can be left in the soil and transmits an indication of the moister in the soil. In addition, a light sensor reading,...
Device The Lora Soil Moisture Sensor is a nice combination with the following components on a single circuit board: ATMEL AVR 8-bit Atmega328P with Arduino Pro Mini (3.3V/8M bootloader pre-loaded)LORA module RFM95W with coil antennaSoil moisture sensor...
Motivation The UK has been experiencing one of its worst droughts in recent history (2022). River levels have dropped to record lows and local ponds have all dried up. This has made water efficiency absolutely crucial in preventing any significant...
My wife and I transformed the (rather) small yard in front of our house into a flower garden. It is full of roses, lavender, tulips, dahlias, and shrubs. The open areas are covered in bark chips to keep down the weeds. To make sure that the...
The full (current) feature list:Web-Interface for Monitoring and SetupSD-Card support for loading of Config/Logging DataConfig internally savedUp to four plant channelsTwo different operating modes for each channel:Moisture Control using inexpensive...
Components required :For this project you would require : SLabs-32DHT 11 temperature and humidity sensorSoil moisture sensorPIR sensor (Optional)Jumper WiresThe connections are very simple. Follow the instructions and the circuit diagram given in the...
I actually ‘started’ this project several years ago using my microcontroller of choice at the time, a Particle Photon. I got the basics working easily enough, but I got hung-up on the weather data portion at the time. I have my own weather station which...
In the ground is simplest, just plant your stuff directly. We started with some strawberries in a bed in front of our porch (not pictured).We moved next to a raised garden bed. I used an 8 foot 10x2 which I miter-cut for aesthetic reasons. This lets...
This tutorial uses the Hexabitz modular hardware system to create an all-in-one plant monitoring and watering system. Automate your way to happy plants 😀🪴 Hardware: Load Cell Sensor (H26R0x): H26R0x is a load cell (strain gauge) sensor...
THE CHALLENGES PLANTATION OWNERS FACE TODAY! Many trips have to be taken in order to manually check soil humidity on a regular basis.It can be difficult to know the exact amount of water to give plants, thus causing stress for the crops by over or under-watering.Over-watering...
Rewriting this as an advertisement/instructions:STEP 1: Build the unitAssemble the wooden frame IKEA-Style, and add the pots.STEP 2: Fill the potsAdd 50% dirt and 50% potting soil.STEP 3: Add the sensorsStick the moisture, temperature, and light sensors...
I was looking for a plant moisture sensor so I knew when to water my plants but wasn't happy with what was currently available. My requirements were: thin shape - I didn't like how wide and stubby most sensors weremultiple LEDs - to show the moisture...
The story behind making a simpler version of EKO began with the desire to create a more accessible and affordable solution for plant lovers who may not have the resources or technical expertise to set up a full-fledged IoT system. After researching and...
Background Earlier this year, we designed and built a robust, IoT self-watering plant system (Project Eden) that I installed in my home garden. Having a background in water process engineering, I aspired to develop a solution aimed at water conservation...
At the moment I have working- 2x DHT22 sensors - Internal circulation fan output- External Fan output- 600w light- 2x soil sensors - Working, Can be set from front panel.- 2 x water pump outputs (controlled by soil sensors). Pumps will start watering...
