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.
This record uses verified project scope. Photographs, schematics, measurements, repository links, and test logs will be added only when authentic source material is ready.
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.
