Description

With this project, you can easily create your own automated watering system using 3D-printed parts and common electronics. No need to break the bank – just download the files, print the components, and follow our simple instructions to assemble your device.

The device takes care of all sorts of plants and is adaptable to every plants needs. Just adjust the value when it starts or stops watering.

But the benefits don't stop there – this project also includes a nifty notification feature. Receive email alerts when it's time to refill the water reservoir or if any issues arise, ensuring your plants are always well cared for, even when you're away.

Installation is a breeze – simply insert the moisture sensor into the soil and attach the device to the side of your pot. It's a compact and lightweight solution that can be powered either by batteries or a wall socket, offering flexibility for any environment.

It can be powered by Wall socked (5v Phone charger) of with 3 AA Batteries.

Simply Plug it in and the battery will stay fresh till you plug it out. Then the battery will take over automaticly (be aware, it does not charge the batteries).
Battery power lasts about 3 Month in my tests.

Feel Free to remix for different pot sizes and tag me :-)

Other Issues:No dimensioned models were provided, and the parts do not fit. The cover is not designed to fit with the width of the tank supports; however, the Pico does fit.

Replying to @andreas.e.roser :

I started building my watering system, but where can i find the programming files? kind regards :-)

@andreas.e.roser

Replying to @dampf :

If u press " download STL/CAD" there is a folder ZIP with "programming Files ". there everything is in

An electrical diagram illustrating the complete wiring configuration would be beneficial

what programming app do i use for coding?

@Ray1lab

Hi I think you videos are great. I’m new to this and I want to build this as a project with my kids. I’m in the US, I I click on the component links I get to an empty Amazon page. Any idea how I can get a US link to the components? Preferably with a picture to make sure I order the right parts. This all sounds fascinating. anyone who was successful building this please feel free to chime in. thanks Al

@stimmenhotel

Sadly, the used kind of sensor will corrode quite fast. I would recommend checking out the capacitive sensors.
