Overview

A second-year group project that watches soil moisture across several planters and runs a water pump when a reading crosses its threshold.

Every reading is stored in Firebase.

Built

Reading sensor data from the ESP32.
Sending every reading into Firebase.

Screens

A 3D version of the system built in Unity: the planter box with its sensors in a greenhouse at night, a live dashboard showing 63% soil moisture and the pump state, and a laptop showing the readings.

The ESP32 board wired on perfboard.
