Abstract

Houseplants bring many benefits and will create good ecosystem inside our house. The plants need to be watered every day and different types of plants need different amounts of water. Sometimes, people are too busy or not at home, therefore they will leave the plants unattended. Traditional ways of watering plants can waste a lot of water. The main objective of this innovation is to create a smart watering plants system that focusing on sustainability and self-working system. This system uses a water tank that receives two sources of water, rainwater and tap water. A float valve will be connected to the inlet of tap water. It will stop the supply just after the water level is sufficient and the rest will be filled by rainwater. A control unit will be connected to the outlet of water tank. Users need to set watering intervals and how long it takes in one watering session. A water pump was added to the system to make sure the water can reach all parts of the system. Users can set different amount of water that will be watered to every plant by using the adjustable dripper. By installing this system, the plants will get enough water consistently. It can also boost productivity in our daily life. This system can save water consumption and helpful in maintaining the sustainability of nature. Hopefully this innovation can encourage more people to take care of plants and lead the community towards green.
