Diseño e implementación de un sistema automático de riego para jardines o cultivos domésticos

Abstract

The development of this project research of the Electronic Engineering degree of the Catholic University of Cuenca arises from a primal objective that offers to design and implement an automatic prototype for the irrigation of gardens or home grown crops, this aim stems from the needs of people who own these spaces, and who have neither time nor knowledge regarding the care and improvement of gardens. This problem is solved with the design of a mobile application that works in the control through comparisons of the type of soil and plant, using communication with the sensors and the Arduino microcontroller, this was conducted employing wireless technology, and which has been selected by relevant analysis. This application allows through signals obtained by measurement of temperature and humidity sensors placed on the ground, to control the state of the soil and verify that it does not have excess or deficit of hydration. Finally, a model was built and it showed the operation of the mobile application and the connection to the different integrated devices, which when it is implemented will allow minimizing as well as facilitating the people’s work to whom own these areas.
