The article covers the development of an automated solar-powered
plant watering system that will help home gardeners who struggle with
locating sufficient time to irrigate their plants. The system monitors the
surrounding plantation and the state of the soil beneath the plants
using DHT11 humidity temperature sensors and soil moisture sensors.
Utilising the Arduino IDE programme, the Arduino Uno R3 (Atmega
328p) receives the readings from these sensors to determine the state of
the plant. In order to determine if the plant is receiving enough water
and to regulate the water pump to irrigate it, the Arduino IDE
programme computes the sensor values and determines whether the
soil condition is above or below the threshold value. For the automated
plant watering system to function, a five-volt solar panel and an MPPT
charging controller are required. The DHT11 Sensor and Soil
Moisture Sensor recommended ranges are clearly stated and
documented in the article.
