01The challenge
The system needed to make watering decisions from soil conditions while operating from a compact solar and battery power path, without removing the operator’s ability to inspect or override it.
02The approach
How the pieces connect
An ESP32 reads soil moisture and drives a pump through a relay. A solar panel, Li-ion battery, and TP4056 form the prototype power subsystem, while the web dashboard provides monitoring and manual override.
03Build scope
Implemented capabilities
- Automated pump control
- Solar power subsystem
- Web monitoring and manual override
04The result
The prototype combines sensing, control, renewable power, and remote supervision in a complete irrigation loop.
