Objective:
People nowadays are too busy with their work. Most of them tend to focus on something until they neglect their home task such as watering the plant. This is because people do not know how to manage their time properly. Here by, the effective solution to this problem is to design an automatic and notification plant watering system. By using this system, it will notify the user and the feedback from this notification will start automatically watering the plant. From the problem faced, we come out to design an Automatic Plant Watering System (APWAS).
Scope of Study:
This project is use to keep plants watered automatically by sending notifications to the user. The focus group of this system is for people who are always busy and cannot manage their time properly to water their own plant. Users will provided 4 sensors and put the sensor at the soil. The water will be control using an automatic valve which will activate when the user give feedback. Water will flow via tubes which is only limited to 5.
Basic Operation:
The Automatic Plant Watering System (APWAS) is a system that is use to give notifications about the condition of the soil and automatically water the plants. This device will read the condition of the soil and give notifications to the user via Short Messaging Service (SMS). According to the user’s response, the system will then open a valve and water will flow to the designated plants. The main idea of the system is to help people to take care of their plants when they are not at home. The system comprises of an Arduino Mega 2560, Siemens TC35 GSM module, ¾ inches solenoid valve, 4 moisture sensor and some PVC tubing. The circuit needs 5V to 12V to operate.Data from the sensors will be used to send SMS to the user and the user’s response will control the opening of the valve.
