An open-source, self-contained plant-watering system powered by MicroPython and any compatible Devboard.
The Smart Auto-Watering Pot automatically measures soil moisture and controls a small valve or pump to keep your plants perfectly hydrated — no Wi-Fi, cloud, or complex setup required.
Designed by Mechaxil as part of our open hardware series, it’s a compact example of how sensors, firmware, and 3D-printed parts can come together in a simple, educational project.
The complete build guide, schematics, firmware, calibration process, and deployment instructions are available on the official Mechaxil Docs site:
docs.mechaxil.com/projects/auto-watering-pot
The documentation includes:
- Bill of Materials and wiring diagrams
- Firmware source (MicroPython)
- Calibration and threshold setup
- Deployment and maintenance instructions
- Troubleshooting and community contributions
