and system status. connected to a power source.
The soil moisture sensor measures the moisture level of the soil and sends
the data to the Arduino.
The Arduino analyzes the sensor data to determine if the soil moisture is
below a pre-set threshold.
If the soil moisture is below the threshold, the Arduino activates the water
pump to deliver water to the plants.
The system continuously monitors the soil moisture and repeats the watering
cycle as needed.
The central control unit of the Detects the moisture levels in Delivers water to the plants Acts as an intermediary
system, responsible for the soil and sends analog data based on the Arduino's between the Arduino and the
processing sensor data and to the Arduino. instructions, ensuring pump, enabling the Arduino to

The soil moisture sensor's resistance varies depending on the moisture level in the soil.
The sensor's resistance translates into an analog signal that the Arduino interprets.
The Arduino processes the analog signal to determine the soil's moisture level.
Based on the moisture level, the Arduino decides whether to activate the
water pump.
Consistent moisture levels prevent The system only delivers water when It allows you to go on vacation or simply

The soil moisture sensor provides real-time data on the soil moisture level.
The Arduino analyzes the sensor data and decides if watering is required.
The Arduino activates the relay module to turn the water pump on or off.
