Overview
The Arduino Plant Watering Kit is easy to put together, intuitive to use, and open to infinite combinations with other Arduino products to create more complex and advanced projects. Check here the step-by-step tutorial.
This kit contains all you need to build your first Cloud-connected plant watering system.
The first step for new makers to explore home automation.
With the components included in this kit in combination with the Arduino IoT Cloud, you can:
- Monitor and keep a log of the level of moisture in the soil of your plant.
- Control remotely the amount of water with your browser or mobile phone app.
- Create and modify schedules for watering your plant.
With just a screwdriver and wire cutters, no soldering needed, you can have in less than an hour a watering system to help your plants survive when you are away from home.
Additionally, if you want to build a plastic enclosure for your own plant watering system, you can download the 3D printing files here.
