Automated irrigation controller
A connected irrigation system combining environmental sensing, pump control, and long-range field communication.
The project
Coordinate watering and obtain field readings where distance and outdoor power constraints complicate connectivity.
Product highlights
- ESP32 control with soil, temperature, humidity, pressure, and flow sensing.
- RS-485 and LoRa communication for distributed devices.
- Pump and motor control with mobile monitoring and solar-powered operation in the project scope.
How we approached it
Monitoring and control systems like the Automated irrigation controller run in places where networks drop and nobody is on site. We design for that first: local logging, safe default states and clear status reporting, built around ESP32, RS-485, LoRa.
Industrial interfaces, sensor wiring and power protection are specified before layout or firmware begins, and each link is tested under the conditions it will meet in the field. Remote access and updates are added only with a recovery path for devices that cannot be reached physically.
