🎯 Project Title:

Solar Powered Auto Irrigation System with Weather Prediction and IoT Monitoring

✅ Final Project Tasks:

📡 1. Moisture Sensor + Pump Control (Basic Functionality)

Task: Measure soil moisture and control the pump (ON/OFF).

Connection: Connect the moisture sensor to A0 Pin of Arduino Nano.


Condition: If the soil is dry, the pump will be ON.

If the soil is wet, the pump will be OFF.

🌧️ 2. Weather Prediction using OpenWeatherMap API

Task: Get weather prediction from the API and control the pump.
Component: Connect ESP8266/NodeMCU with Arduino Nano.

Condition: If there is a chance of rain, the pump will remain OFF.

If there is no chance of rain, the pump will run based on moisture level.

API Setup: Fetch data from OpenWeatherMap API.

ESP8266 will need to connect to the Mobile Hotspot for internet access.

📱 3. Blynk IoT Integration for Remote Control and Monitoring

Task: Control the pump manually from the Blynk App and monitor system data.

Component: Connect ESP8266/NodeMCU to the Blynk server.


Monitor soil moisture level and pump status through the Blynk App.

Blynk Setup: Button Widget: To manually turn the pump ON/OFF.

Gauge/Graph Widget: To display moisture and weather data.


🔋 4. Low Battery Alert System

Task: Monitor battery voltage and send a low battery alert to Blynk App.
Connection:Connect the battery to the Voltage Divider Circuit and then to A1 Pin of
Arduino Nano.
Condition: If battery voltage drops below 10V, an alert will be shown in the Blynk App.

🔋 5. Solar Power for Energy Supply

Task: The system will be powered by a solar panel, and the battery backup will be
maintained.

Connection: Connect the Solar Plate to the Lead Acid Battery.

The battery will provide power to both Arduino Nano and ESP8266.

🌧️ Final Components List:

1. Arduino Nano – Main Controller

2. ESP8266/NodeMCU – For API and Blynk connectivity

3. Moisture Sensor – To read soil moisture

4. DC Pump – To supply water

5. 16x2 LCD Display – To display system status


6. Solar Plate – For energy supply

7. Lead Acid Battery – For power backup

8. IRFZ44 MOSFET – To control the pump

9. Potentiometer 10K – For LCD brightness control

10. Voltage Divider (10K + 100K Resistor) – To monitor battery voltage

📚 Final Workflow:

📝 Step 1:
Moisture Sensor → Sends moisture data to Arduino Nano.

🌧️ Step 2:

ESP8266 → Retrieves weather data from OpenWeatherMap API.

⚡ Step 3:

If moisture is low + no rain chance, the pump will be ON.

If rain chance is high, the pump will be OFF.

📱 Step 4:

Use the Blynk App to monitor data and control the pump manually.

🔋 Step 5:

Low Battery Alert: Notification will be sent through Blynk if the battery voltage is low.
