Release Description: Pico-W IoT Irrigation System Demo
This release introduces the Pico-W IoT Irrigation System Demo, a smart irrigation system built using the Raspberry Pi Pico W microcontroller. This project demonstrates how to create a cost-effective, IoT-based irrigation system that monitors soil moisture, controls water pumps, and provides real-time data visualization through a web interface.
Key Features:
-
Soil Moisture Monitoring: The system uses a soil moisture sensor to measure the moisture level in the soil, ensuring efficient water usage.
-
Automated Irrigation: Based on the moisture readings, the system can automatically control a water pump to irrigate the soil when needed.
-
Real-Time Data Visualization: A web interface provides real-time graphs of soil moisture and core temperature data, allowing users to monitor the system remotely.
-
Remote Control: Users can control the irrigation system remotely via MQTT or a web interface, enabling manual override of the automated system.
-
OLED Display: An OLED screen displays real-time data, including soil moisture, core temperature, and system status.
-
Line Messaging API Notifications: The system can send notifications to a Line messaging app, providing alerts and status updates.
-
QR Code Integration: A QR code is generated on the OLED display, allowing users to quickly access the project's GitHub repository.
