The video shows a quick assembly of the MoistureMatic which includes 3D printed components and the electronic  hardware. ​

​

This smart watering device was created to keep track of various indoor house plants, and notify the user via the Blynk app. Using a Soil Moisture Sensor and a NodeMCU to create this IOT capable device. ​

​

Learned:

​

Dealing with securing sensors in this damp environment. First attempt at trying to create a modular case system to hold all components with waterproofing considerations. 

​

IOT devices using existing clients made for a simple introduction to communicating over the internet and introduced the issues that arise with bandwidth and latency. 

​

​

Equipment Used:

​

  • NodeMCU (IOT)

    • C++ Programming​

    • Blynk App Library

  • Soldering​​

  • LED Matrix (circuit theory)

  • Enclosure Design

    • Fusion360 CAD and 3D Printed

  • Fasteners

  • Soil Moisture Sensor
