This document summarizes research on an automatic watering system using a soil moisture sensor and RTC timer with Arduino. The system aims to automate watering of plants even when owners are absent for long periods of up to 15 days. It does this by using soil moisture sensors to check moisture levels and only supply water when levels drop below a predefined threshold for a particular plant's water needs. A timer module then helps set watering times so the plant receives sufficient water at the scheduled times even without human intervention. The document reviews related literature on automatic irrigation systems and their challenges.
Water is an essential thing for crops and plants in agriculture. In traditional agriculture systems are take large amount of time to watering the crops lands and also have a lots of water wastes. Avoiding these problems drip irrigation systems are introduced. Drip irrigation technique is the best and efficient technique to supply the water to plants/crops in effective manner. In our IoT based smart and automatic drip irrigation system is solve the problems in existing systems and also provide the many features to farmers. This system is using Wemos D1 ESP 8266 which controls all sensors and send and receive the sensing values through the internet.

development of smart automated irrigation systemIJEAB
This study is designed to develop an automatic irrigation system that switches (ON/OFF) a pump motor by sensing the moisture content of the soil using wireless technology. Through GSM Modem, the sensed moisture content data will be sent as an SMS to the user. The project uses 8051 series microcontroller, which is programmed to receive the input signal of varying moistures of the soil through sensors. This is achieved by using an op-amp as comparator which acts as interface between the sensing device and the microcontroller. Once the controller receives the signal, it generates an output that drives a relay for operating the water pump. It also sends an SMS to the concerned number using GSM modem. An LCD display is also interfaced to the microcontroller to display the status of the soil and water pump ON/Off condition. The sensing arrangement is made using two stiff metallic rods inserted to the agricultural field required to be in control. Connections from the metallic rods are interfaced to the control unit. This concept can also be enhanced by integrating XBEE/Bluetooth technology, such that whenever the water pump switches ON/OFF, the information is sent to a smart mobile phone or XBEE transceiver module regarding the status of the pump.

Real Time Monitoring of Self Propelled Center Pivot Irrigation System using M...ijtsrd
Agriculture is very important in everyday day life. Without agriculture we cannot satisfy our daily needs such as food. The process of developing the agriculture is very difficult as it depends on season, rainfall, water, soil, humidity etc. Rainfall is the important factor among this. Due to the changes of the season the rainfall is not constant, due to the lack of rainfall the farming land becomes dry and the irrigation of crops is very difficult for the farmers. This is the major problem in the agriculture. To overcome this in olden days the farmers used variety of irrigation systems for better crop production. Irrigation is nothing but watering the crops in cultivating land. The irrigations such as drip irrigation, springler irrigation, surface, subsurface irrigation are commonly used in many countries. These irrigation can perform a different characteristics and functions for a better crop production. Drip irrigation method was used in Israel by using the tubes and pipes. The springler irrigation method was used in Australia. These two irrigation system are now commonly used in India. In this irrigation the drop of water is send to crops but the water is insufficient and crops does not grow faster. Here we propose a new method of irrigation called center pivot irrigation system. The system is constructed in the center of farmland. It consists of sprinkler at the top and it sprinkles the water uniformly to all the crops. The crops get enough water and yield in a good manner. By using this method there is no water loss. M. Anusudha | B. Banupriya | A. Godhawari | Mr. J.

IOT AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE BASED SMART GARDENING AND IRRIGATION SYSTEM.pdfSamira Akter Tumpa
The IoT and Artificial Intelligence based smart gardening and irrigation system is a modern approach to gardening that leverages technology to optimize and automate various aspects of garden maintenance. This system combines the power of IoT devices, such as sensors and actuators, with artificial intelligence algorithms to create an intelligent and efficient gardening solution.
The system begins with a network of sensors strategically placed throughout the garden. These sensors can monitor important environmental variables such as soil moisture levels, temperature, humidity, light intensity, and even nutrient levels. The data collected by these sensors is then transmitted to a central hub or cloud-based platform for analysis.
Artificial intelligence algorithms come into play here, as they process the collected data and make informed decisions about watering schedules, fertilization, and other necessary actions. By analyzing the environmental data, the system can determine when and how much water to provide to the plants, ensuring optimal hydration without wastage.
The smart irrigation component of the system consists of automated valves or sprinklers that are connected to the network. These valves can be remotely controlled or operated automatically based on the instructions from the AI algorithms. This allows for precise and efficient water delivery to specific areas of the garden, avoiding overwatering and water runoff.
Additionally, the AI algorithms can take into account weather forecasts and historical data to adjust the watering schedule accordingly. For example, if rain is predicted, the system may delay or reduce the watering to prevent excessive moisture.
The IoT and AI-based smart gardening system also includes features to monitor plant health and detect diseases or pest infestations. Image recognition algorithms can analyze images of plants to identify any signs of distress or diseases. This early detection allows for prompt intervention and treatment, improving plant health and yield.
Moreover, the system can be integrated with mobile applications or web interfaces, enabling gardeners to monitor and control their gardens remotely. They can receive real-time updates on environmental conditions, irrigation schedules, and even receive notifications or alerts if any issues arise.
Overall, the IoT and Artificial Intelligence based smart gardening and irrigation system revolutionizes traditional gardening practices by optimizing resource usage, improving plant health, and reducing manual intervention. It provides an intelligent, efficient, and sustainable approach to gardening, making it easier for gardeners to maintain lush and healthy gardens while conserving water and minimizing waste.
AN AMELIORATED METHODOLOGY FOR THE DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF SMART PLANT S...AM Publications,India
In India Agriculture is the main profession. Majority of the farmers are dependent on the traditional approach of farming where they have to stay in their lands either for supplying the water to the crops or to monitor the moisture level in the soil and also the growth of plants. There is a possibility of excess water at some part of the land and there is a deficiency of water on the other side. This is one of the major problems to the farmer where he has to continuously monitor the flow of water. In this paper, we are proposing an automated smart plant system which supply the required quantity of water to the land, measures the moisture content in the soil using moisture sensor, and also measures the temperature and humidity in that area using temperature and humidity sensor. The proposed system is developed using hardware devices such as Arduino uno, Sensors, Relay board, Ethernet shield etc. In this system we are using a mobile phone to control all the equipments and devices which are connected in the system and we also send signals to start and stop the device through the mobile phone only.
In a developing country like India, where agriculture is the backbone of the country, agriculture is plagued by several problems like small and
fragmented land holdings, manures, pesticides, chemicals used for agriculture etc. consumers also increasingly demand for the healthy diet that is rich
in quality and free of agricultural chemicals and pesticides. Our project fills in the above said difficulties and demands using hydroponics we can go
organic. Since it is done in the controlled environment, it can be done anywhere like room terrace, balcony etc. also large amount of plants can be
planted in a less place. This type of agriculture could be high yielding if monitored and controlled efficiently. We propose a project that controls the
necessary conditions required for the plant to grow hydroponically and also cultivators may control the agriculture remotely using IoT.
Watering plants during the correct time is very important due to scientific reasons. Both underwatering, as well as overwatering, can lead to the growth of unhealthy plants or in extreme cases, the death of the plant/tree. These issues which are the case with most self-gardeners and plant lovers can be solved using the smart irrigation technique. The main purpose of this innovation is to assist plant lovers to continue their passion to grow plants at home with ease. Smart irrigation system helps in monitoring the moisture level which majorly affects plant growth besides other factors such as sunlight, fertility of the soil, etc. The digital planting pot has been designed in a way that it effectively incorporates the idea of smart irrigation. Arduino Uno R3 has been used as the main chip in this project along with a few other components like a soil moisture sensor, relay, and water pump. This project requires coding to synchronize all the components, and function properly. A required test has been carried out to review the functioning of the mechanism. The project was tested by once using the soil with enough moisture in the pot and then the soil with the least moisture. Both times, it worked exactly how it was supposed to function. When the soil with the least moisture was tested, there was a clear indication of a low level of moisture and accordingly, the water pump got triggered to water the plant, and when the soil with enough moisture was tested, there was again the clear indication of the correct level of moisture and the water pump was inactive. All the readings which were displayed on the LCD were checked back and forth during the project. The outcomes were the same as expected. Hence, it shows that every component in this project is actively functioning and the whole project is effectively designed.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

Abstract: In daily operations related to farming or gardening, watering is the most important practice
and intensive task. No matter whichever weather it is, either too hot and dry or too cloudy and wet, you
want to be able to control the amount of water that reaches your plants. Our work demonstrates the
efficient use of Internet of Things for the traditional agriculture. For implementation of automatic plant
watering system, we have used combination of pipes and pump/motor. It shows the use of Arduino UNO,
RTC and soil moisture sensor, monitored and controlled smart irrigation systems, which is also cost-
effective and simple. Arduino microcontroller checks soil moisture level using soil sensor. By this people
should know about how much water is present in the soil, if the moisture content is less than specified
threshold which is predefined according to particular plant's water need then desired amount of water is
supplied. To help out the need of watering the plant even in your absence for long span like 10-15 days,
we also worked on timer based automatic watering system. It helps you to set the timings when you would
wish to water the plant and leave the place without having any concern on your plants, because our work
helps you in watering the plants in your absence at exact time that you want. We hope that through this
prototype we all can enjoy having plants, without being worried about absent or forgetfulness of watering
them.

1.1 Objective and Goal of the Project
An automation of irrigation systems has several positive effects. Once installed, the water distribution on fields or
small-scale gardens is easier and does not have to be permanently controlled by an operator. There are several solutions
to design automated irrigation systems. Modern big-scale systems allow big areas to be managed by one operator only.
Sprinkler, drip or subsurface drip irrigation systems require pumps and some high tech-components and if used for large
surfaces skilled operators are also required. Extremely high-tech solutions also exist using GIS and satellites to
automatically measure the water needs content of each crop parcel and optimize the irrigation system. But automation of
irrigation can sometimes also be done with simple, mechanical appliances: with clay pot or porous capsule irrigation
networks or bottle irrigation (see also manual irrigation).
We all know that plants are very beneficial to all human beings in many aspects. Plants helps in keeping the environment
healthy by cleaning air naturally and producing oxygen. Many people love to have plants in their backyard. But due to
civilization and insufficiency of place many people used to grow plants in mould or dirt, pot, and placed on the
windowsill. These plants are dependent on conventional breeding - watering, and provide the right amount of sun to
sustain life and growth. In busy schedule of day-to-day life, many time people forget to water their plants and due to this,

plants suffers many disorders and ultimately died. In addition, the world's biggest problem in modem society is the
shortage of water resources, agriculture is a demanding job to consume large amounts of water. It is very essential to
utilize the water resources in proper way.
1.2 Objectives
The main objective of this work is to control the water application.
As well saving our time is major purpose.
To save the plants from being dry and improve their lifetime.
1.3 Problem Statement
Knowing when and how much amount to water plants, are two major important aspects of plant watering. During day-
to-day activities many people often forget to water their plants and thus it becomes challenging for them to keep their
plants healthy and alive. Based on the above background, we thought that it is necessary to implement the automated
system which will take care of plants considering all the different aspects of home gardening system (for system based
on household purpose) and helps them to grow healthy. Therefore, our project aims to implement a simple system, using
soil moisture sensor for watering a small potted plants with minimal human intervention.
1.4 Motivation
In the current situation, water shortage due to increased exploitation has urged to develop a new technology which can
save water from wasting and therefore there will be a smart way to check the loss of water. The purpose of this idea is to
make the water planting system smart, autonomous, and efficient, to optimize the water supply to the plants to decrease
manual intervention. It observes soil, climate, dehydration conditions and plant water consumption and automated
adjustment of the water schedule. Irrespective of human presence the plant survives on its own. Therefore, smart water
planting system has become a major concern so that a smart device can be given to the owner who can maintain
productivity of plant.
1.5 Challenges
Hence as far as our project deals with automating the water and waste water management systems is concerned, many
smaller initiatives have been seen. But large scale demonstrators and completely integrated solutions are still in
conception. Some technical challenges related to these systems are sensor/ probe designs energy consumption and
efficiencies of field devices, real time sensing, robust communication infrastructure, seamless integration of technologies,
redundancy of networks, reliable data transfer in case of both surface and underground sensors, time synchronization,
security, prediction and data gathering mechanisms for better building of measurement models etc. Sequence of system
scenario has been not easy to decide to function. The controllers to the Arduino were quite challenging, because a single
mistake can damage any electrical part. It was not easy to write the software for the Smart Irrigation System and reading
the values using sensors and upload it in software to run the system and to predict the values to water or not and finally
completed with perfect results.
II. LITERATURE SURVEY
2.1 Arduino Based Automatic Water Planting System using Soil Moisture Sensor
[Hriday Chawla, Praveen Kumar March 15,2019] This research paper is about the automatic water planting system using
a moisture sensor which senses the humidity level of the soil. Depending on the moisture or humidity level of the soil,
water pump is being set on or off. This research is being done using Arduino on Arduino ide. This research has increasing
demands in agriculture sector. Using this system farmer can easily monitor usage of water according to crops they use.
By using this method, they can cultivate crops more easily and it reduces the labor. It also helps to maintain the health of
the crops and also increase the production by farmers. In this research, we also tested this system on soil for few days
and noted its effective results.

Impact Factor: 6.252
Research Gap: In our project, soil moisture sensor senses the moisture level of the soil. If soil will get dry then sensor
senses low moisture level and automatically switches on the water pump to supply water to the plant. As plant get
sufficient water and soil get wet then sensor senses enough moisture in soil. After which the water pump will
automatically get stopped.
2.2 A Review and Proposed Automated Irrigation System using Soil Moisture Sensor and Android App
In this author (Laxmikant Jayprakash Goud) proposed “A Review and Proposed Automated Irrigation System using
Soil Moisture Sensor and Android App” This Application will work with the help of Hardware. Hardware which required
is Sensors, Controller, GSM Kit (Global system for mobile communication). First, the sensor will place in the field. As
per its name it will detect the moisture present in the soil. This produces a voltage level in terms of output. As Machine
will only understand the language of voltage, this voltage will be acquired by the controller and it will produce output.
In this way sensor and controller will work together to produce the moisture level. After getting the voltage levels, it
decides how much water supply needed by the soil. The work of GSM is to allow user to handle the water Sources at the
remote location. As well as it will notify user at the time whether actually water supply is started or not. In this way user
can handle water supply if he is not physically present there.
Research Gap: In our project we are not using any android application instead we use Arduino, relay, LED, motor, soil
moisture sensor and timer module. The soil moisture sensor reads the moisture level in the soil through Arduino and
provide the water to the plant if the moisture level in the plant is less than the threshold value and timer module is present
to release the sufficient amount of water required for the plant for every 24hours.
2.3 Design of Remote Monitoring and Control System with Automatic Irrigation System using GSM-Bluetooth
In this paper Purnima, S.R.N Reddy, “Design of Remote Monitoring and Control System with Automatic Irrigation
System using GSM-Bluetooth”, proposed artificially supplying water to land where crops are cultivated. Traditionally
hand pumps, canal water and rainfall were a major source of water supply for irrigation. This method has led to severe
drawbacks like under irrigation, over-irrigation which in turn causes leaching and loss of nutrient content of soil.
Changing environmental conditions and shortage of water have led to the need for a system which efficiently manages
irrigation of fields. Automated irrigation system is a machine-based system, which automates the irrigation of land by
combining various software and hardware approaches together for field irrigation. This paper deals with a detailed survey
of various GSM based automated farm irrigation systems. GSM serves as an important part since it is responsible for
controlling the irrigation facility and sends them to receiver through coded signal. Our study is concentrated on
comparison of various GSM approaches.
Research Gap: Here we are adding Arduino Uno, Soil Sensor, Timer module and relay without using GSM, we are
using an Arduino microcontroller to control and sense the thing in the projects such as sense or measure the moisture
level in the soil we are using soil moisture sensor. The soil moisture sensor is a sensor which varies the value when it
contacts the soil. if the value is less than threshold value then soil moisture sensor will send the signal to relay to on the
motor pump, then motor will release required amount of water to the plant. Relay module is used to control the on and
off of the DC watering pump by opening or closing the electric path that passes to the watering pump. It is controlled by
the code from the Arduino software.
2.4 A survey on Automatic Irrigation System using Wireless Sensor Network
Nattapol Kaewmard et al., 2014 describe the design of an automated irrigation system using WSN including soil
moisture sensor, air temperature sensor and air humidity sensor in order to collect environmental data and controlling the
irrigation system. By using smart phone, the irrigation system uses values to turn on/off the solenoid valve. The irrigation
system control water by sending and receiving control commands from smart phone application via the internet. Result
shows that proposed AIS is useful, cost effective and provides better performance than conventional system.
Research Gap: In our project we are using Arduino to read soil moisture level to check whether it is less than the fixed
threshold value or not. Our model will supply the water to the plants only if the soil moisture level is less than the

threshold value. So, we are not collecting any environmental data except soil moisture. And our system is not integrated
with android app. And irrespective of the soil moisture level our system will water the plants for every 24 hours.

almost become an integral part of us serving multiple needs of humans. This application makes use of the GPRS feature
of mobile phone as a solution for irrigation control system. This system covered lower range of agriculture land and not
economically.

Soil moisture sensor technology, commonly used are:
Frequency domain sensor, such as a capacitive sensor.
Neutron moisture meter, characteristic of the use of water in the neutron moderator.
Soil resistivity. In this particular project, we will use the soil moisture sensors which can be inserted into soil to
measure the soil moisture content.
C. Water Pump / DC Motor
Water is used to perform a specific task of artificially pumping. It can be controlled by an electronic microcontroller.
It can be on 1 triggered by sending the signal and turned off as needed. Artificial process is called Water Pumping.
Station. There are many varieties of pumps. This project we would like to use a DC motor.
D. Relay module
Relay is an electrically operated switch. Many relays for switching solenoid mechanism mechanically operated, but can
also be used for other principles of operation. Relays are widely used in early computers to telephones and perform logical
operations.
E. RTC – DS3231
Timer module is comprised of RTC (real time clock) module (RTC – DS3231). The RTC maintains seconds, minutes,
hours, day, date, month, and year information. The date at the end of the month is automatically adjusted for months with
fewer than 31 days, including corrections for leap year. The clock operates in either the 24-hour or 12-hour format with
an AM/PM indicator. Two programmable time-of-day alarms and a programmable square-wave output are provided.
Address and data are transferred serially through an I2C bidirectional bus. A precision temperature-compensated voltage
reference and comparator circuit monitors the status of VCC to detect power failures, to provide a reset output, and to
automatically switch to the backup supply when necessary. Additionally, the RST pin is monitored as a pushbutton input
for generating a reset externally.
4.5 Modules Description
A. Relay Module
The relay module is a switch that controlled by an electromagnet. It is used to control the on and off of the DC watering
pump by opening or closing the electric path that passes to the watering pump. It is controlled by the code from the
Arduino.
B. Moisture Sensor Module
A moisture sensor is used to sense the level of moisture content present in the irrigation field. It has a level detection
module in which we can set a reference value. This circuit can be used with analog probes that produce a voltage
proportional to soil moisture. The moisture content of the soil is found by using the soil moisture sensor which produces
an equivalent output voltage proportional to the conductivity between the two probes. The module has a built-in
potentiometer for sensitivity adjustment of the digital output (DO). You can set a threshold by using a potentiometer; So
that when the moisture level exceeds the threshold value, the module will output LOW otherwise HIGH.

main power to the device is interrupted. The integration of the crystal resonator enhances the long-term accuracy of the
device as well as reduces the piece-part count in a manufacturing line. The DS3231 is available in commercial and
industrial temperature ranges, and is offered in a 16-pin, 300-mil SO package.
The working in this module is as follows, Firstly the condition of timer from when the watering has to happen is being
given in loop through Arduino and the rtc is set to current time, when the relay is connected to an external power supply,
the loop executes and checks if the current time of conditioned time. If the time matches, power supply is on and the
watering happens and similarly the relay will be triggered off, if the loop checks for the stop time and matches and thus,
watering does stops.

B. Building and training the model
The dataset has been trained using 4 different classification models. Logistic Regression, Random Forest, Decision tree
model, Scalar vector machine model.
Each model trained the dataset and has been checked for MSE and R2 score for each model and selected best model to
predict the target variable (watering).
C. Random Forest
Random Forest algorithm is one of the machines learning algorithm, belonging to the supervised learning technique. It
solves both Classification and Regression problems in machine learning. This technique combines multiple classifiers
which solves a complex problem resulting in improved performance of the model also called as ensemble learning
concept. Random Forest is a technique that contains number of decision trees on various subsets of the given dataset and
takes the average to improve the predictive accuracy of that dataset. Instead of relying on only one decision tree, the
random forest algorithm takes the prediction from each tree and based on the majority votes of predictions, it predicts the
final output. The greater number of trees in the forest, higher is the accuracy thus, preventing the problem of over fitting.
D. (SVM) Support Vector Machine
Support Vector Machine is a linear model for classification and regression problems. It can solve linear and non-linear
problems and work well for many practical problems. The idea of SVM is simple: The algorithm creates a line or a
hyperplane which separates the data into classes.
E. Decision Tree
Decision Tree algorithm belongs to the family of supervised learning algorithms. Unlike other supervised learning
algorithms, the decision tree algorithm can be used for solving regression and classification problems too.
The goal of using a Decision Tree is to create a training model that can use to predict the class or value of the target
variable by learning simple decision rules inferred from prior data (training data). In Decision Trees, for predicting a
class label for a record we start from the root of the tree. We compare the values of the root attribute with the record’s
attribute. On the basis of comparison, it follows the branch corresponding to that value and jump to the next node.
F. Logistic Regression
Logistic regression is named for the function used at the core of the method, the logistic function. The logistic function,
also called the sigmoid function was developed by statisticians to describe properties of population growth in ecology,
rising quickly and maxing out at the carrying capacity of the environment. It’s an S-shaped curve that can take any real-
valued number and map it into a value between 0 and 1, but never exactly at those limits.

If the detected soil moisture sensor value from the plant is less than the threshold value then the relay sends the signal
to the pump to ON and pump provide water to the plant. Similarly, If the detected soil moisture sensor value from the
plant is greater than the threshold value then the relay sends the signal to the pump to OFF and stop water supply to the
plant. In the first case, the plant is completely dry, sensor detected low moisture value and relay has been triggered by
Arduino to water the plant. Whereas, In the second case the plant has been already watered and was wet already, So the
moisture content is high when detected by the sensor and hence relay doesn’t gets triggered by Arduino.
VII. CONCLUSION AND FUTURE WORK
The automatic irrigation system was designed to continuously sense the moisture level of the soil. The system responds
appropriately by watering the soil with the exact amount of water required and then shuts down the water supply when
the required amount of soil moisture is achieved. There are two functional components. They are moisture sensor and
motor / pump. Arduino board is programmed using the Arduino IDE software. Soil Moisture sensor is used to detect the
soil moisture content. Motor / pump is used to supply water to plants. The reference amount of soil moisture is already
fed to the microcontroller beforehand. Irrespective of moisture level the timer module will also supply the water at
specific intervals of time that we have fixed in Arduino. The proposal of this project is to provide an automatic water
distribution and irrigation system with the help of moisture sensor and timer module. And also reduce the water
consumption using this procedure.
The system is ideal for the expensive, rare and luxurious plants which are basically planted in pots. It can also be applied
to gardening in the apartments or any space. The whole circuit consumes a low power, which is 200 – 220 mA is total.
The main advantage of the system is that it only turns the water pump on when its needed and instantly turns off when
the water is sufficient. In this way, it prevents wastage of water and ensures the appliance of water optimally. We have
also done timer module which consists more criteria in determining perfect timing for watering once in a day and apply
the whole system for plants. As the system is optimized for perfect timing of watering, It may help the plants to remain
healthy and grow perfectly. Thus, the system would not only keep the plants alive, but also facilitate to grow up in a
healthy way.

APPENDIX
Code for Automatic watering system using Soil Moisture sensor with Arduino
int water; //random variable
void setup() {
pinMode(3,OUTPUT); //output pin for relay board, this will sent signal to the relay
pinMode(6,INPUT); //input pin coming from soil sensor
}
void loop() {
water = digitalRead(6); // reading the coming signal from the soil sensor
if(water == HIGH) // if water level is full then cut the relay
{
digitalWrite(3,LOW); // low is to cut the relay
}else{
digitalWrite(3,HIGH); //high to continue proving signal and water supply
}
delay(400);
