Arduino Irrigation Control System

This chapter’s project will use the Uno development board with an Internet connection to remotely operate a home irrigation system. This project will be split into two phases. The first phase will be a simple implementation where a homeowner can remotely start watering using any one of up to eight irrigation zones. An irrigation zone typically consists of two or more pop-up sprinkler heads.

The second phase will report back soil moisture content using an Uno web page so the homeowner can determine if immediate irrigation is needed. The soil moisture sensor subsystem will communicate with the main Uno ...
