Soil Moisture Automatic Watering And Irrigation System DIY KIT
The Soil Moisture Automatic Watering and Irrigation System DIY Kit offers an innovative way to automate plant care based on soil humidity. It's perfect for busy individuals, frequent travelers, or anyone who forgets to water their plants. This kit ensures optimal hydration for flowers, vegetables, or indoor plants by automatically activating a water pump when soil moisture drops below a set threshold.
Package Includes:
- 1 x Relay Module
- 1 x Mini Water Pump
- 1 x Plastic Battery Storage Case Holder
- 1 x USB Power Cable
- 10 x Jumper Wires
- 1 x 0.5m Vinyl Tubing
- 1 x Soil Moisture Detector Module
Features:
- Automatic Watering: Waters your plants when soil humidity drops below your preset level.
- DIY Assembly: Allows full customization and hands-on learning.
- Soil Moisture Sensor: Accurately monitors moisture content in the soil.
- Relay Module: Controls the pump based on sensor input.
- Mini Water Pump: Delivers water efficiently when needed.
- Travel-Friendly: Great for users who can’t water plants daily.
- Energy-Efficient: Minimal power consumption with effective performance.
Principle of Operation:
- Relay Module Test: Connect VCC to 5V and GND to ground. When IN is left floating, the relay clicks. You’ll hear a “Kaka” sound if working correctly.
- Moisture Sensor Test: Connect the fork probe to the amplifier. VCC to 5V, GND to ground. Power LED stays on; indicator LED lights up when probe is in moist soil or water.
- Water Pump Test: Red wire to 5V, black to GND. Do not run the pump dry or longer than 1 second during tests.
- Final Setup: Combine all components. Insert the probe properly into the soil to avoid false readings. Power the system and observe automatic watering action.
Applications:
- Home gardens
- Indoor plant maintenance
- Greenhouse irrigation
- Small-scale agriculture
- Landscape watering systems
- Educational projects in automation and environmental science
Sample Circuit:
Notes:
- Never run the water pump dry to avoid damage and fire risk.
- Make sure the soil moisture sensor is properly inserted and functioning before activating the system.
- Test components regularly to ensure performance and safety.
