We build a Wi-Fi plant-watering robot with soil moisture sensor!
Components used:
Particle Photon Internet Button - amzn.to/2zKtKfe
(or) Particle Photon - amzn.to/2zvOi6T
IOT Relay - amzn.to/2iWoU43
4-way Aquarium Valve - amzn.to/2iYqAK8
Loctite Silicone Sealant - amzn.to/2AagFdX
DFRobot Soil Moisture Sensor - amzn.to/2BuVd1t
Aquarium air pump - amzn.to/2ztgqrd
(I've been told some of these components were selected by www.pleasetakec... - check them out!)
Example Arduino/Particle code: gist.github.co...

i recommend coating the sides of that moisture sensor you showed in the demo with conformal coating

Fantastic weekend project

I'm curious why you didn't just use a small water pump... You can get one that's a perfect size for this project for $6 on Amazon.You went through a lot to create back pressure to push the water out...

Very cool project indeed ! Thanks for sharing.

Hey there, just wanted to ask what software di you use to draw your diagrams?

@Expelled-xl1me 2 года назад

Man i love you And one thing .. what is (all you learned) to get to this level

@vincethegenius Год назад

wow ! incredible pls continue making so interesting videos :D thank you for ur time :)

Why didn't you just use a small water pump instead of the massive air pump and elaborate jar system?

@greenangrowin 5 лет назад

That's what I was thinking. One that connects to a motor like this one with part number 4320-004-10-39.

@nishaprashanth1224 4 года назад

That's exactly what I was thinking

@DavidJJJ 3 года назад

I can only surmise that it’s more reliable. If the water runs out, you’ve just got air running through. If you run out of water and you’re using a water pump, you will most certainly destroy the pump. To protect against this, you would also need a moisture sensor in the reservoir so the pump didn’t turn on if there was low water level from the source. That’s why I think they are using the air pump instead of a water pump. My setup will be using a 5v water pump with a level sensor because I’m going to be pumping from a large open container anyway.

@@DavidJJJ How did your plant watering system end up? I'm about to start mine. Right now I just want to get a prototype up and running to see how it would look, and then get into designing something that I can attach to my wall.

@DavidJJJ 3 года назад

@@YodaWasSith it worked well, I used an esp32 which has two touch inputs which works with water and a solar panel connected to a battery which ran the 5v pump and the esp32.

Hi bro can you explain me how it works

@direnm100 2 года назад

Nice project! 👍

S-18 Neoprene Epoxy works to keep moisture off metal. Silicon is a joke. I'm a hydroponicist please trust me it's also very safe. Used it for years on my chrome ultrasonic foggers in my fogponics gardens.

@anthonyb8994 3 года назад

you could also paint it with clear nail polish to waterproof it.

@originalsnuffy 3 года назад

Cool video. What is the housing you used for the Particle Photon? Seems much nicer than my breadboard. Thanks!

@riveducha 3 года назад

It's the Particle Photon "Internet Button," which was a kit they used to make. The round module included a ring of LEDs, 4 push buttons, an accelerometer, and a buzzer.

@richardf911 5 лет назад

Cool. Way over-do on the sealing. Silicone takes way too long to set anyway. Hot melt glue is a quick and less toxic alternative. Not much sealing is necessary. Simplicity is always a good guideline for any project. Use a valve instead of a pump. Gravity feed or capillary action. Pizza cake. :-) Polling every 15 minutes seems like way overkill. Once per hour or less seems reasonable. Unless you're monitoring while injecting water. I would think a small dose of water followed by a hydration check a while later, then repeat, would be a better to give the water a chance to permeate. Now you need to calibrate it for different kinds of plants! :-) Thanks!

'Pizza cake' - yum :)

@DavidJJJ 3 года назад

Great project, I’m interested in how you went with the values for the moisture sensor and if that worked well? I haven’t used one but heard that people had issues with getting good measures out of it.

@riveducha 3 года назад

You really need to test and see what values you get with your own setup because there are so many things that can affect it. Soil type and depth can affect the readings, and you don’t want water pooling at the bottom of the planter while your sensor says it’s dry at the top.

@DavidJJJ 3 года назад

@@riveducha My plan will be to attatch the probes to two stainless steel nails or something that won't rust and then use that in the water to avoid the corrosion factor.
