Smart Irrigation System
Automated precision agriculture system that monitors soil moisture and regulates water pumping to conserve water and optimize plant health.
About the Project
An intelligent irrigation controller designed for agricultural efficiency. By reading capacitive soil moisture and temperature levels, the system automatically activates low-voltage water pump relays only when soil moisture drops below calibrated thresholds, preventing over-watering and conserving resources.
Key Engineering Features
Continuous soil moisture sensing with calibrated dry/wet thresholds
Automated submersible pump relay control with safety run-time limits
Visual status indicators and manual override toggle
Reduces water waste by up to 40% compared to scheduled timers
