IoT Plant Watering System |
I am going to build a smart plant watering system that uses a microcontroller and sensors to automatically water my plants based on soil moisture levels. I am excited to build this project because I love plants, but I often forget to water them. This system will help me take better care of my plants and save water by only watering when needed.
- Purchase the components and materials needed for the project.
- Assemble the system using the microcontroller, sensors, pump, and water reservoir.
- Write code for the microcontroller to control the pump based on the moisture levels detected by the sensors in the Arduino IDE/MicroPython.
- Test the system to ensure that it is functioning correctly.
- Make any necessary adjustments or improvements to the system.
- Make a web server for the NodeMCU ESP8266 to allow me to control and view the sensor data at all times via the internet
- Cover all parts in a custom cut wood frame
I'm planning on following the following guides:

All parts are guaranteed by Amazon to arrive within 5-6 days of ordering.
