Abstract

This project is about the development of the prototype to water the plant automatically using the Arduino. There is no doubt that the modern people is busy with their daily schedule and has fewer times to take care of their plants. Therefore, UnoPlanter is developed to solve this problem by automatically watering the plants when the soil moisture sensor has detected the soil is insufficient of water. UnoPlanter is using the Arduino as the centre core, and other hardware is assembled to it to function based on the code that has been written into the Arduino. UnoPlanter is a fully function prototype which consists of one soil moisture sensor which use to detect the moisture of the soil, and a LCD display to show the moisture percentage and pump status, and a relay module which used to control the on and off of the water pump, and a water pump which connects directly to the relay module. When the soil moisture sensor sense the dry soil, it will show the moisture percentage on the LCD display, and the relay module will switch on the water pump automatically to start the watering process, or vice versa. Therefore, the home gardener will never be worry about their plants even when they are going far for vacation.
