Raspberry Pi: amzn.to/2CSUgTC

Mini Submersible Pump: amzn.to/2RApoiC

My take on an automated plant watering system. This uses a Raspberry Pi to read a moisture sensor and turn on a pump when a plant is in need of water. There is also a website hosted on the pi that lets you check the status and trigger watering events.

Great video! Hoping to do a project like this with plant-moisture sensor, water reservoir sensor, pump for water and possibly light-sensor with plant lamp! To top it off, if it works, I'd hope to build it with a Pi Zero and make the project as esthetic as possible. Thanks again for the video and inspiration!

Hey Ben, thanks for the inspiring video and the detailed tutorial. I really like the nature of your videos. Time to show the watering status of your plants on your Smart Mirror!

@BenjaminEagan 6 лет назад

Some smart mirror integration for the plant watering is an awesome suggestion, I've been looking for an excuse to write an add on to MagicMirror as well. Thanks for the suggestion and kind words, it's much appreciated!

Cool, i like the HUD you seem to have on the mirror!?

@GaryMcKinnonUFO 5 лет назад

Best to use capacitive moisture-sensors as the 2-prong models corrode after a few weeks.

@BenjaminEagan 5 лет назад

Agreed! You can extend the life by only adding current when measuring, but it still gives a lifespan of ~months.

@BenjaminEagan 5 лет назад

Thanks, you've spotted my smart mirror - lots of videos on my channel about how to make it! Nice weekend project if you have the supplies.

@NIBricks 5 лет назад

Hey Ben, great video ! can I ask could this be run with multiple sensors and pumps from one raspberry Pi? thank you

@itisno1 4 года назад

im guessing since u used a relay that ur using a 120v water pump. I am using DC pump so am making a circuit incorporating a pnp transistor so i can use a different power source other than the pi. when the base lead of the transistor is excited by current via 3v3 the circuit is then allowed to flow through the collector and emitter

@sumertheory 5 лет назад

can you extend this to water more than one plant with one cpu and one pump

@BenjaminEagan 5 лет назад

Definitely, for that you'd need some actuated valves which are opened when a plant is thirsty. Then when the pump pushes water, it only comes out the open bits.

@GordonjSmith1 5 лет назад

Nice. Looking forward to building it myself. Question, how tricky, apart from more relays, pumps etc, would it be to add more plants? (E.g. 6 different plant pots)

@BenjaminEagan 5 лет назад

Really simple, you should be able to scale this up until you run out of sensor pins.

@erxvlog 5 лет назад

Good stuff.

@smartassist9700 5 лет назад

I need 7 sensor/waterers auto water reported by PI 3B+. Each named by type of plant. Can that be done easily?

@BenjaminEagan 5 лет назад

I would suggest using this relay instead: amzn.to/2LFJd4V - each pump can be controlled by a specific relay. Then you would have 7 moisture sensors connected directly to the pi (which has 20+ GPIO pins, so enough for 7 sensors and 7 relays to control)

@Ombib1 6 лет назад

nice

@benrobinzon7256 2 года назад

Hi, thanks for the video. I saw you mentioned that it can only be done via PI 3, I have 4 and it doesn't work from the early stage of testing the pump, can you please explain why only pi 3 should be used?...

@BenjaminEagan 2 года назад

Hi Ben, this depends on GPIO so makes some strong assumptions about the purpose of the pins. It’s very likely the GPIO pin layout between 3 and 4 has changed.

@sarabjitbedi4705 4 года назад

Hi sir, what is the command use to start the program? i using python auto_water.py to start my program and my water pump straight working non stop. It cannot function well when i place my sensor into water or out of the water and my water pump keep switch on. Besides that,when i run python auto_water.py it only show (Here we go! Press CTRL+C to exit). It does not show the getting readings that sir show in video. Sir do u have any ideas or suggestion to solve it.

@danyka2888 5 лет назад

Was this complex enough to keep the plant alive? What about non-uniform moisture across the pot?

@BenjaminEagan 5 лет назад

I killed my plant repotting, but it did keep two plants happy for about 6 weeks. I positioned the hose to be right in the middle and it seemed to distribute moisture well enough.

@emaanrad1624 3 года назад

Nice Work ^^ but Why u don't use ThinkSpeak Cloud

@BenjaminEagan 3 года назад

Never heard of it, and there’s something satisfying about rolling your own solution end to end

@xxThat90sGuyxx 5 лет назад

Is the relay necessary? I figured one could just hook both the pump and the sensor up to the pi, pi takes a reading, activates a 3v pump... Am I missing something important?

@BenjaminEagan 4 года назад

I have heard if you draw too much current for a motor or pump you can easily fry your Pi, so the recommendation is always to power externally. So I'd take this approach at your own risk. (Here's a thread on the topic: www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=15688)

@allendavecatucag6931 6 лет назад

Good Day sir! i'm currently working like this project t then i add only water flow sensor, but the problem is that when i run the automated irrigation and water flow sensor the valve will close then only the water flow sensor will continue to run, what is the problem of this kind of problem sir? as a raspbe master :)

@moglimogify 5 лет назад

How do you host the website? Directly on the pi?

Yes, flask server on the pi. it's also only accessible from your LAN, unless you setup port forwarding for the raspberry pi's IP.

@nickthenab1 4 года назад

Hi. I’ve wired everything up exactly as you had on your page. My soil sensor when submerged is saying the plant needs water. Any idea what is going on? I used the sparkfun one from your site as well that you had linked.

@nickthenab1 4 года назад

Never mind I fixed it. For anyone using the new red sparkfun sensor it’s readings are reversed what his sensor is. I had to switch the values for auto watering. 1 is wet and 0 is dry.

@itisno1 4 года назад

The problem is that the soil will be constantly wet, cause root rot & kill the plant. The roots need to be able to breathe.

the beauty of building this, is the can change how they work. No reason you couldn't set a 24hr delay for example before watering.
