In this project, we<\/span>\u2019ll design a mobile app-controlled watering system that drip irrigates a home garden or small farm. This system is developed on an ESP8266 microcontroller, which controls the water pump through a 3V relay or an electronic valve.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The user can switch the water\u2019s motor\/electronic valve ON or OFF and even set a watering schedule via the app.\u00a0<\/span>This<\/span>\u00a0means users can set a time for watering or switch the water on or off wherever they are, so long as they have the app installed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Components required<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

1. <\/strong>ESP8266 x1
\n<\/span>2.<\/strong> 3V relay x1
\n<\/span>3.<\/strong> Electrical wires for connecting the motor, relay, and main supply
\n<\/span>4<\/strong>.<\/strong> Connecting<\/span>\/DuPont wires for connecting the ESP8266 to the relay<\/span><\/p>\n

Circuit connections
\n<\/span><\/strong>The device built in this<\/span>\u00a0project controls the operation of a water pump or an electronic valve through a 3V relay. The water pump or valve is attached to a relay, which is connected to the ESP8266 microcontroller.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
