ESP32-Based Automated Plant Watering System with Environmental Monitoring

This is an environmental monitoring and control system designed to read soil moisture and air temperature/humidity, and to actuate a fan and water pump for maintaining desired conditions. The ESP32 microcontroller serves as the central processing unit, interfacing with sensors, an OLED display, and controlling actuators via a 2-channel relay. Power is supplied by a 12V battery, with the ESP32 managing power distribution to the components.

ESP32-Based Plant Monitoring System with Wi-Fi Control and Relay Switching

This circuit is designed for a plant monitoring system that measures soil moisture, ambient light, and temperature/humidity conditions. It uses an ESP32 microcontroller to read data from a DHT11 temperature and humidity sensor, a YL-69 soil moisture sensor, and a photosensitive sensor module. The ESP32 controls a relay module to power a water pump based on sensor inputs, and it interfaces with a Blynk application for remote monitoring and manual override via a physical button.

Usage Instructions

How to Use the SH-T10 in a Circuit

  1. Power Supply: Connect the VCC pin to a power supply within the range of 2.4V to 5.5V. Connect the GND pin to the ground of the power supply.
  2. I2C Communication: Connect the SDA (data) and SCL (clock) pins to the corresponding I2C pins on your microcontroller (e.g., Arduino UNO).
  3. Pull-up Resistors: Ensure that the SDA and SCL lines have pull-up resistors (typically 4.7kΩ) to the VCC.

Important Considerations and Best Practices

Example Code for Arduino UNO

#include <Wire.h>

#define SH_T10_ADDRESS 0x44

void setup() {
  Wire.begin();
  Serial.begin(9600);
  delay(1000); // Allow some time for the sensor to initialize
}

void loop() {
  float temperature, humidity;
  if (readSensorData(temperature, humidity)) {
    Serial.print("Temperature: ");
    Serial.print(temperature);
    Serial.println(" °C");
    Serial.print("Humidity: ");
    Serial.print(humidity);
    Serial.println(" %RH");
  } else {
    Serial.println("Failed to read from SH-T10 sensor");
  }
  delay(2000); // Wait for 2 seconds before the next reading
}

bool readSensorData(float &temperature, float &humidity) {
  Wire.beginTransmission(SH_T10_ADDRESS);
  Wire.write(0xE5); // Command to read temperature and humidity
  if (Wire.endTransmission() != 0) {
    return false; // Transmission error
  }
  delay(20); // Wait for the sensor to process the command
  Wire.requestFrom(SH_T10_ADDRESS, 6);
  if (Wire.available() != 6) {
    return false; // Not enough data received
  }
  uint16_t rawTemp = (Wire.read() << 8) | Wire.read();
  uint16_t rawHumidity = (Wire.read() << 8) | Wire.read();
  temperature = -45 + 175 * (rawTemp / 65535.0);
  humidity = 100 * (rawHumidity / 65535.0);
  return true;
}

Troubleshooting and FAQs

Common Issues Users Might Face

  1. No Data from Sensor:

    • Solution: Check the wiring connections, especially the SDA and SCL lines. Ensure pull-up resistors are in place.
  2. Inaccurate Readings:

    • Solution: Ensure the sensor is not exposed to direct sunlight or heat sources. Verify the power supply is stable.
  3. I2C Address Conflict:

    • Solution: Ensure no other devices on the I2C bus share the same address (0x44). If necessary, change the address of the conflicting device.

Solutions and Tips for Troubleshooting

By following this documentation, users should be able to effectively integrate and utilize the SH-T10 temperature and humidity sensor in their projects. For further assistance, refer to the Sensirion datasheet and support resources.
