HydroSense is a self-regulating water management system designed to conserve resources and boost crop productivity, empowering farmers through cutting-edge automation.
-
💧 Water Level Sensor
- Monitors tank levels using a voltage of 3.79V and current 18mA, automatically stopping overflow.
-
🌱 Soil Moisture Sensor
- Operates at 3.47V and 12mA, activating irrigation when soil moisture drops below a preset threshold.
-
🔋 Power Supply
- Solar-powered with a 9V DC supply and a battery backup (3.81V, 2.5Ah).
-
🧠 Automation
- Relay-based automation (replaced by L298N), cutting off water supply when sensors detect sufficient moisture or full tank capacity.
To empower farmers with a self-regulating irrigation system that:
- Saves water
- Enhances productivity
- Requires minimal manual intervention
-
✅ Sustainable Farming
- Enables efficient water usage.
-
✅ Cost-Effective
- Minimizes water and energy costs.
-
✅ Eco-Friendly
- Solar-powered, reducing carbon footprint.
- 🥉 Second Runner-Up at the ENTC Departmental Hackathon
- Replaced relay control with ArduinoUNO & L298N motor driver for advanced motor speed regulation.
- Added Bluetooth module (HC-05) for mobile-based real-time monitoring and control.
- Implemented buzzer alert system to notify irrigation activation.
- Fully simulated in Proteus, including:
- LCD with I2C module
- HC-05 Bluetooth module
- Soil moisture sensor
- Solar power integration
- Buzzer and L298N motor driver module
