Sistema de controle de irrigação residencial.

Abstract

According to a report from UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) released in March 2015, it is estimated that the water reserves in the world can shrink up to 40% by 2030. The document states that in the world there is enough water to meet the growing needs of the consumer, provided there is a change in the use of this resource, because the way in which man find himself will lead to a water crisis. The home automation project presented here proposes a smallscale solution to this problem, consisting of an automatic control system for plant irrigation. The central processing unit will be the Arduino development board, besides having bluetooth communication, sensing, data acquisition and actuators. Another characteristic is the low cost of the project, as well as its short-term financial returns and its ability to expand to larger scale solutions.
