Indoor/Outdoor Plant Watering System

project using ESP32 & solar


In this IoT internet of things project, I have shown how to make the IoT-
based indoor plant watering system using ESP32 Blynk and a soil moisture
sensor.

The ESP32 will control the water pump automatically as per the soil
moisture level. You can control and monitor the moisture level, and
temperature from anywhere in the world on Blynk IoT.

So if you follow all the steps, you can easily make this IoT-based plant
monitoring system using ESP32 and Blynk app.

 0.96″ OLED Display
 1k 0.25watt Resistors (R1-R6) – 6 no
 1N4007 diode
 BC547 NPN Transistor
 TIP122 NPN Transistor with heat sink
 LEDs 5mm – 4no
 7805 voltage regulator with heat sink
 2-pin Push Button – 2no

 5V DC Buzzer
 100uF 25V capacitor (C1)
 100nF 330nF AC capacitors (C1, C2)
 12V DC pump or solenoid valve
 12VDC Supply

Circuit of IoT Based Indoor Plant Watering System

In the circuit, you have to give a stable 12V DC supply. The amps rating of
the power supply will depend on the pump or solenoid valve current rating.

A 7805 voltage regulator is used to provide the 5V supply to ESP32, and the
3.3V supply is given to OLED and capacitive moisture sensor from ESP32
3.3V pin.

To control the pump we have used a TIP122 NPN transistor which is


connected with the GPIO D25.
Please refer to the following table for ESP32 GPIO used in this circuit.

ESP32 GPIOs Connected Sensors/Components

D34 Capacitive moisture sensor AOUT pin

D32 Push-Button to turn ON/OFF pump

D33 Push-Button for changing MODE.

D25 TIP122 base pin (controlling pump)

D26 BC547 base pin (controlling Buzzer)

D14 DHT11 sensor O/P pin

D15 LED indicator for MODE

D2 LED indicator for WiFi

D21 SDA of OLED

D22 SCL of OLED


If you want to use a 12V solenoid valve to control the water, then refer to
the following circuit.

Please use heat sinks with TIP122 and 7805 voltage regulator.

PCB Layout for ESP32 Plant Monitoring System

Set up Blynk IoT Cloud for the ESP32 Project
You can refer to the following article to set up the new Blynk cloud
account.

Create Blynk Template


During creating the template, I selected ESP32 as the hardware and the
connection type as WiFi.

In the template, I have created the first Datastreams (Pin: V1, Datatype:
Integer, Min Value: 0, Max Value: 100) to show the moisture level in
percentage.

The next two Datastreams (Pin: V2 & V3, Datatype: Integer) will show the
Temperature and Humidity reading from the DHT11 sensor.

Forth Datastream (Pin: V4, Datatype: Integer, Min Value: 0, Max Value: 1,
Default Value: 1) is for changing the MODE.

Fifth Datastream (Pin: V5, Datatype: Integer, Min Value: 0, Max Value: 1,
Default Value: 0) is for manually controlling the pump
Create Web Dashboard in Blynk Cloud

After that, click and drag 1 Gauge widget, 2 Level widgets, and 2 Switch
widgets and select the related Datastreams for each widget.

Then click on “Save” to save the template.

Add Device in Blynk Cloud using Template

You can refer to the following article to add a device to the Blynk cloud

Now open the Blynk IoT App and tap on the device name
.
Then add 1 Gauge widget, 2 Leveled Value widgets, and 2 Button
widgets from Widget Box.

1. Tap on the Gauge widget and select Datastream “Moisture” with V1.
2. Tap on the first Leveled Value widget and select Datastream
“Temperature” with V2.

3. Tap on the second Leveled Value widget and select Datastream


“Humidity” with V3.

4. Tap on the first Button widget and select Datastream “Mode” (V4) and
MODE “Switch“.

5. Tap on the second Button widget and select Datastream “Water” (V5)
and MODE “Switch“.

Source Codes for Blynk ESP32 Plant Monitoring


System
Program ESP32 with Arduino IDE

For this IoT-based project, I have used the Arduino IDE to program ESP32.

First update the Preferences –> Aditional boards Manager


URLs: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/gh-
pages/package_esp32_dev_index.json,
http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json

 Then install the ESP32 board (2.0.5) from the Board


manager or Click Here to download the ESP32 board.
 Download the required libraries from the following links:
o Blynk Library (Version 1.1.0)
o AceButton Library (Version 1.9.2)
o Adafruit_SSD1306 Library (Version 2.5.7)
o Adafruit Unified Sensor Library (Version 1.1.7)
o DHT Library (Version 1.4.4)

Get Sensor reading for the DRY & WET soil

To get the MIN & MAX moisture reading from the sensor, first, upload the
following code to ESP32
Connect the Moisture Sensor AOUT pin with D34 and supply 3.3V across
VCC and GND.

Then open the serial monitor with baud rate 115200.

Note the MAX value when the sensor is dry, then dip the sensor into water
and note the MIN value.

Save these two values.


Now open the main sketch in Arduino IDE. and update the following values.

Blynk AUTH code and template details

WiFi Name and Password.

Update the MAX value when the sensor is dry, and the MIN value for the
wet soil.

With these two readings, we will calculate the moisture percentage.

After doing these changes, please upload the code to ESP32

Connect the Pump & Sensors with PCB


Water
pump

Now connect the sensors, OLED, Pump, and 5V Buzzeras per the above
diagram.

Here I have a 12V 2A DC supply, you have to use the power supply as per
the pump amps rating.

Testing the DIY Plant Watering circuit


Before connecting the solenoid valve with the pipeline, I will recommend
you to test the circuit for Dry and Wet soil scenarios.

If everything works fine, connect the solenoid valve with the main water
pipeline of the drip irrigation system.

Now your plants will get water automatically whenever needed.

Extra component /senser add


same as well also more senser in this project like fire senser or rain senser
to detect rain out side and then send you a message on blynk app and send
mail “its raining”.
