Smart Plant Watering System Using Smartphone

Abstract

Proper watering is exigent for the plants and trees which are grown in containers. Many people prevail to take good care of expensive plants or trees like Bonsai because of improper timing or lack of watering. An automated system which is capable of perceiving the proper situation of watering plants can be convenient in this regard. In this paper, a micro-controller board Arduino has been used, which has an ATMEGA 328p chip in it. Moisture sensor are integrated into it for detecting moisture of the soil in the plant's pot. A program has been set to the Arduino to take the norm from the sensor, comparing the retrieved value with our predefined standard threshold and turn on or off the water pump according to the plants need. A message alert system has been set to notify the owner if there is any problem in supplying water from the main source.
