Irrigation automation?

Question

Electronics

Hello everyone, I want to arrange a simple automation for watering, maybe someone has any ideas, schemes.

Answer 1

If there is any 'smart home' system, then the simplest and most excellent option: Mi Flora
Soil Moisture Sensors . A significant difference from the 'diy textolite forks' is that the electrodes do not dissolve after a month or two. Well, they connect via ble without wires. The price tag on the link is kind of stupid, at regularly occurring sales they are sold for ~ $ 10. Pumps like this . At this price point, it's easier to have a pump per pot/irrigation area than to fence distribution with valves. WiFi led controller like this . This one is sold as a 'led controller', but inside it has esp8266 + 5 switched channels on mosfets. Sewn tasmota , or esphhome .
All this happiness is connected to the smart home controller (for example, [email protected]) and the desired scenarios are written.
ps: read the comments to the question. the author does not need to water the flower pots, but to flood the greenhouse with a cube of water per hour, so the solution above is naturally by.
