This is a simple arduino project for a soil moisture sensor that will light up a LED at a certain moisture level. It uses Arduino Duemilanove microcontroller board. Two wires placed in the soil pot ...

If you are designing your own intelligent “Graden Computer” with an optional digital plant moisture sensor/water pump controller that lights an LED to alert the user when it is time to water a potted ...

A new Kickstarter campaign has been launched this week by Richard Seymour to raise the funds he requires to create a NB-IoT BLE Gateway and Soil Sensor. Using an Arduino shield extension board ...

My perennials always died because I watered them too little or too much, or put them somewhere too dark or too hot. Recently I vowed to keep my plants alive, so I turned to Arduino. I'd been looking ...

My shed is mostly done, which means I'm moving onto other projects that look a lot like landscaping. Lawns, gardens, etc. I want to be efficient in my watering, and potentially even lazy and have ...

With almost 8 billion souls to feed and a changing climate to deal with, there’s never been a better time to field a meaningful “Internet of Agriculture.” But the expansive fields that make industrial ...

It’s not infrequent that we see the combination of moisture sensors and water pumps to automate plant maintenance. Each one has a unique take on the idea, though, and solves problems in ways that ...

There are many good reasons for growers to use some form of soil moisture-sensing technology to monitor conditions and how the water is being used in irrigated crops. First and foremost, it can make ...
