Sistema de automação para irrigação de plantas em ambientes residenciais

Abstract

The advancement of home automation is visibly noticeable in industries. However, with the advancement and cheaper technology it was possible to implement this concept in the residential environment called "Domotic". There are several possible implementations such as: brightness control; room temperature control; power consumption adjustment. All these applications are geared towards a single goal: improve people's quality of life by helping them carry out everyday tasks, increasing practicality, comfort, safety, among other important values for quality of life. Therefore, this work proposes a system that automates the irrigation of a plant so that the user has one less concern in his routine. Using Arduino Duemilanove hardware, the concept of smart homes, home automation, data processing, electrical circuits and programming. It was possible to create a system that monitors, controls and performs soil irrigation autonomously, with no need for significant human intervention.
