“Water plants in your balcony with solar power and control the pump from anywhere in the world!! Project automates the process of watering small plants in your home. This solution allows you to control the pump even if you are away from the house (assuming your WiFi router and ESP8266 module are on). A solar cell is used to power the submersible pump to ensure safety (didn’t want to use Mains Power in contact with water). It also ensures availability of pump for use during the day. Ample sunlight and any ESP8266 based WiFi module are essential items to execute this project. I am using water collected from the Air-conditioning drain I paired a 3W Solar panel with a 6V DC Submersible pump.”
