Automated Water Pump System

Abstract

Automated water pump systems are becoming increasingly important as they can regulate water pumps based on current data and conditions, reducing energy use and water waste while ensuring efficient water distribution. Research shows that automated water pump systems have several advantages over traditional manual systems, including increased efficiency, lower energy consumption, better water management, and improved pump performance. However, there are also some drawbacks to using these systems, such as higher upfront costs due to advanced equipment and technology requirements, complex installation and design demands, and the need for a reliable power source. The choice of automated water pump system depends on the particular application and requirements, as each type has its own strengths and weaknesses. The article's methodology involves connecting the solid-state relays, ESP32, power supply, and water pump to enable automated operation. The Arduino IDE software is used to program the system, allowing the user to specify when the water pump should be triggered. The system is then controlled by the ESP32 microcontroller, which turns on the relay module to power the water pump until the user-specified threshold level is reached. This ensures that the plants receive the correct amount of water for optimal growth without the need for manual assistance. The article also discusses the hardware used, including the ESP32 microcontroller and relay module.
