Preventing Plant Death With Technology 

The old blynk is deprecated...so you need to set up a new blynk app...anyway thanks for sharing this project...will try to make it too......

When will you share the transmitter code, waiting for it.

The concept of this project is promising, but there are some issues with the moisture sensors that need improvement. The moisture sensors often require calibration and appear to be prone to failure. To enhance the system’s reliability, you might consider replacing them with small aquarium valves to control the flow of water to each plant. Additionally, adding a leak sensor at one of the plants to detect any water input anomalies could be beneficial. Simplifying the project by implementing manual flow control and incorporating a system to calculate and monitor the amount of water dispensed to each plant would be a great idea. This could be further enhanced by integrating a Wi-Fi switch for daily scheduling and remote control. Overall, with these improvements, the project has the potential to be highly effective and user-friendly.

I had the same concept in mind but with only one pump and different hose sizes. I'll try to make it. Thanks for great video. Good job.

That’s cool man! Reminds me of my dosing pumps for aquarium use, which I’ve been thinking about trying out for automated watering.

Excellent work! Looks beautiful!

Hi! Awesome video, but there is one problem - the Blynk QR code is no longer working with their new version. Could you upload a new QR code compatible with new Blynk version so we could try out the build? Thanks!

Well done ! Excellent information, thanks Emilo !

I really like the final product. Useful and relatively simple. However, I'm a little bit concerned about the calibration process. You used air and pure water to find the extent of the voltage ranges but in real life, the sensors should never see such values. To do so the soil should be completely floated or left to the sun for days with 0 water contact and even then I doubt air levels can be achieved. Maybe a better procedure is to have 2 or more soil samples with a known percentage of water.

@emilio: Can you integrate the hole setup into a homebridge / HomeKit setup? The setup of more rules like “turn on the water system when you leave the house” are convenient.

Just wanted to ask that do you intend to make more videos? These are so good quality.

Great quality, your going places keep it up.

DiyPerks level quality here. Awesome project, build, and video.

Super cool man, excellent work 👏

Inspiring, funny and efficient!! Thank you for the video!

Que calidad de vídeos, sigue asi que estás llegando muy lejos, saludos desde Perú

great one, Emilo!

Is it possible to have wiring diagram?Thanks

Sad you are not making any more content. Great video, sound, music... Thanks and take care :)

You can try a single pump but use a stepper motor to squeeze multiple pipes an only open a single one to be pumped towards - might increase mechanical complexity, but exponentially increases the number of plants you can water with that

I know this video is old but I just ran crossed it and could really use it, really cool. Question: is there a wiring schematic for all the components?

Really useful project. Thank you

I want to build something similar due to me having 30+ plants and I just don't want to run around all the time and water them and remember all their specific watering preferences. Some plants are also in not so easy places. Having a system like that a bit scaled will definitely be a help and an absolute time saver (and I can keep up with my plant buying "addiction" lol).

Man great content, +1 subscriber! The project is super cool. Please can you just tell me what is the size of JST connectors?

Great content, would love to try it at some point. How well is the system holding up?

you need to add a sensor if you run out of water in container, it better be just 0/1, checks ones a day and before watering to prevent damaging a pumps and water problems. its needs just 1 digital pin

Awesome project.

Great video you have all the settings I would like to build bar one. I have a bottom watering system with a valve on each pot and want to water when the sensor dries out but water for say 3mins then wait for about an hour then if the sensors still dry water again for 3 mins and so on till it’s wet. Would this be simple to achieve?

@Emilostuff Could you possibly share the blue 3D printed bracket you used to mount the mini water pumps to? :) Love the video and the project!

Nice work thank you for the video ! But i have a question why not using 1 pump and 4 electro valves, is it easier or just not worth the effort ?

Could you anyway do a sketch of the the correct soldering?

finally, an english host for reference. past 6days theres only tamil channel about this kinda project

amazing stuff bro !!!!

Great job, you clearly know what you are doing! Well done, liked and subscribed!

This is amazing. I’m currently building a self watering pot similar to this. You killed it in hardware. I’m using Arduino also and similar hardware but your 3D case is amazing. I’m going hard on the software side, using AI and building a powerful iOS app , but I just wanted to share with you that the casing is on top. If you design this to sell I would be interested to build the smart pot

Godt gået. Og behagelig video, lyd og animationer. Cool

Hi,od you have a wiring sketch or a way to see how to solder this together. Thank you :)

Can you make a tutorial on the whole thing please? I cant connect my nodemcu to the blynk app, and your QR code isnt working anymore :(

The build is great but what happens when you're on vacation for a week and the water runs out in the container? I have built a similar setup but using only one pump and I've cut the pipe in a v-shape to allow T-section junctions for multiple outputs in one pipe. The plants I have are pretty needy in terms of water and instead of using a soil moisture sensor, I'm using a timer-based function to turn the pump on for 10 seconds every six hours. I'm now thinking of connecting a bigger motor and getting the water directly from the home water supply line (instead of a small separate tank) and watering the entire garden with it for full automation. First, have to rig the garden with PVC pipes and spinning sprinklers.

That is one dope looking mvp

How much time does the battery last before getting completely drained?

Amazing clip!

Nice info, thanks for sharing it :)

hi nice video :) your oxalis triangularis is a little leggy as it needs more light! a full cut back and move to a brighter spot will do wonders 👍

What if I have my plants are about 5-10 meters away from my house like lawn, etc.

Hey man, Awesome project! I am stuck on something. I Have an ESPduino (esp8266 arduino board) I followed your instructions exactly have the same sensors, ADS board etc. Blynk connects fine to the board but I am not getting any moisture data on the graph at all. Tried everything and even made sure the ADC is connected by looking at the serial monitor. Do you have a wiring diagram? Maybe i missed something. I have the sensor connected to the 3.3v pin but the ADC to the 5v pin if that helps.

Hello there, I have a questio. How have you gotten to the level of electronics you have? Or how can I get as good with electronics to make project like this one.

Great video mate, I would like to know if we can get skip the soil moisture sensors and use the automatic timer part can you share some insights on this thankyou.

Cool solution! The only one question from 2021 - what the Vacation is?..

love your stuff btw

What size/type of screw are you using?

dude how cool, but how much energy does the project at blynk consume?

Can you add in the description the circuit diagram?

Can u make it for science project please how much would be for the whole stuff?

If the auto mode can turn up the pump based on the humidity level, why can't it turn it off based on the same system? Could eliminate most of the hazle of pumping the right amount of water 🤔

how many voltage for the Power supply?

does anyone know the name of the purple plant that is in the beginning of the video?

Amazing sir, briliant 👍👌

I would like to know if the pumps can all run at the same time or if only one pump runs before the next pump runs

Du bist ein Genie

what weird magic you have done with connecting Vin on ESP 8266 and JD-VCC on relay and motors? :) do you have an extra 5V power input?

What are the uses of relays ?

Excellent!!👏

Hello Emilo, good work! could you show scheme?

Great video, helped me a lot when building a similar system. But a question though, in your case, does the soil moisture reading fluctuate a lot? Mine goes from 70% to 40% and back to 60% between 1 minute interval readings...

Great video Isn't the attached code missing? I see 0 1 3 4 5 the 2 is missing! Or is it just weong renaming

Hi there, how can I recreate the app for my own setup?

what is motor pump did u use ?

amazing video!

Hello, excuse me in advance for my English, I am French. Would it be possible to have the complete code in one part? Where a tutorial to install the 5 parties on github. thank you very much in advance

Where can I find circuit diagram?

very good like the idea and reason

Which pumps did you use?

Happy to be first , keep up the good work.

Wish I could install this system in my 1250sq ft nursery.

question: so u the board u have states 3v, but isn't the relay control input 5v? also do u use the board to power the pumps or do you have a seperate loop?

Did anyone catch what the power supply was for this project?

Can you please share the entire wiring diagram?

amazing yarr ... osssamaticallyyy....fanttaabusallyyyy fandoooooo

where did you get the pumps

Love this build. Its so nice and clean. Im now going to try to build this for my wife. Have all the parts but Im missing a simple schematic? I have paused the video but its hard to see where all cables go. Do you have simple schematic? Would be so awesome.

Circuit diagram please

Man looks awesome! I'm trying to do the same but with a timer, but I'm having trouble to install de librery of DS3132 for the timer in PlatformIO, someone knows how to do that? Thanks

Hey Emil. Super fed video man. Hvor studerer du? :)

what can i make the same device using STM32F103C8 please

'ADS1115_MUX' was not declared in this scope; did you mean 'ADS1115_WE_H_'? im getting that problem anyone can help me?

Much easier, you have 1 pump, 1 time power clock 1 distrubuter and thats it. overengeenering.

That’s so amazing am new to electronics and 3D printing as am a truck driver am not very often home but I do love the idea of doing something my self, do you have a video that shows how the wiring goes ? I have printed all the parts in my prusa printer and came out amazing just received all my parts as well and also downloaded the app just the wiring is where I could use some help

What 3D printer do you use?

Hi! Looks awesome! thanks for sharing! Im trying to build a similar project and I can not figure at how to make the circuit work with only the one power source. My pump is not working properly. Could you maybe share the circuit drawing? I'm using an Arduino UNO board + water micro mini 3-5V waterpump. The pump starts working a for 1 second and than it shuts down. I don't know how to find aut the problem. Thanks again!

Can you share the code used for it

super cool

do you sell this pre-made ?

Very nice project. How much power is needed to have in Blynk? There is no information. Thanks.

The blynk QR code says ""invalid static token format"

What can I say, fantastic! You are a real magician for the plants and for us a real little genius. Could you please provide us with the electrical plan of your creation! Thank you in advance and double thank you, I love it !!! Again and again....

superb

Do you make project for ESP32 version?

thx

where is your circuit diagram.?
