Automatic Smart Plant Pot - (DIY, 3D Printed, Arduino, Self Watering, Project)

cults3d

Sometimes when we go away from home for a few days or are really busy, the house plants suffer because they are not watered when they need it. This is my solution to their plight. All the electronics, pumps, and water reservoir are contained inside the pot, keeping it looking smart. Each pot can be set to meet the needs of different types of plants, allowing for customized care. An Arduino Nano controls everything, and I've kept the cost of components as low as possible. Here are links to the parts on Amazon: How to build this project is shown in a video: https://youtu.be/T_tpKoNCVYw Note: At 4:05 into the video, I made an error when I said to use 20cm wires for the water level sensor. The correct length is actually 35cm.
