Arduino Irrigation System

Description

<p align="center"> <a href="http://i.imgur.com/ZpqeQxK.jpg"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/S3vjuAF.png"></a></p> This project contains code, schematics, build plans, and 3D models to construct an automated garden watering system. The main components of the system are:<br> <a href="https://store.arduino.cc/usa/arduino-uno-rev3">Arduino Uno Rev3 microcontroller board</a> <a href="https://vegetronix.com/Products/VH400/">Soil moisture sensor</a> <a href="https://www.adafruit.com/product/997">Water solenoid valve</a><br> The water solenoid valve is connected to a garden hose and a suitable watering device, such as a sprinkler or sprayer. I used an old garden hose with holes drilled into it. <p align="center"> <a href="http://i.imgur.com/n5DGJ3s.gif"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/i3ZPMmZ.png"></a></p> At a set time interval, the Arduino checks the moisture sensor for a minimum value. If the reading is below the minimum value, the water valve is opened for a period of time. The moisture readings are sent via email and text message. <a href="https://www.smtp2go.com/setupguide/arduino/">Email info</a> <a href="https://www.lifewire.com/sms-gateway-from-email-to-sms-text-message-2495456">Text message info</a><br> The readings are also saved to a publicly viewable IoT website to store data and generate graphs: <a href="https://community.thingspeak.com/tutorials/arduino/send-data-to-thingspeak-with-arduino/">Thinkspeak</a><br> See my github repository for more details: <a href="https://github.com/darrencardenas/arduino-irrigate">https://github.com/darrencardenas/arduino-irrigate</a>
