Abstract

This article proposes a smart irrigation system that helps to maintain a balcony plants. The system provides real-time information about the environmental parameters as humidity level of soil, temperature of surrounding environment, and status of the watering reservoir. Fuzzy logic controller is used to compute input parameters like soil moisture, temperature water tank level and to produce outputs of the water pump status. The system allows the collection of rainwater or condensate water from the air conditioner into a tank or, in the last case, from the water supply network. This encourages the use of renewable water sources and minimizes water consumption for irrigation purposes from the water supply network. With the support of this system, it is possible to grow decorative flowers such as geraniums or herbs for your own needs throughout the season. Geraniums (Geranium Pelargonium) are a perennial favourite both on balconies and in the garden. Its wide range of colours, tolerance and low price also contribute to its popularity.
