The Challenge
Precisely measuring soil moisture across multiple zones, automating pump activation based on real-time environmental forecasts, and minimizing water waste while ensuring proper hydration.
Our Solution
Deployed a network of capacitive moisture sensors connected to a Raspberry Pi controller. Programmed an automation script in Python that communicates via MQTT protocol and adjusts flow rate dynamically based on sensor feedback.
The Result
- Reduced overall agricultural water usage by 35% through smart scheduling.
- Monitored 4 separate moisture zones with real-time analytics uploaded to an online dashboard.
- Engineered an automatic fail-safe valve shutoff system to prevent flooding during pump leaks.
