Application of an Automatic Plant Irrigation System Based Arduino Microcontroller Using Solar Energy

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this system, plants’ optimum water need level is controlled by Ardiuno Uno Microcontroller. With the help of the buttons on the Lcd Shields, the plant species are chosen and after the humidity level is entered, it is controlled by Ardiuno Uno Microcontroller. When the humidity level of the earth decreases, Ardiuno Uno Microcontroller sends data for irrigation the plant and takes photo of it with Raspberry Pi before irrigation. The e-mail which contains necessary datum and photos is sent to related person. When the irrigation of the plants reaches the chosen humidity level, Ardiuno Uno Microcontroller stops irrigation and Raspberry Pi sends photos of the plant as an e-mail to the related person again after irrigation. The energy of this system is provided by the battery charging.
