Arduino Sous-Vide Kit: Automated Temperature & Pump Control
Build a Precision Sous-Vide Cooking System with Arduino Uno - Temperature, Pump & Servo Automation
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Take control of your cooking with a fully automated sous-vide system. This Arduino-based kit gives you precise temperature regulation, an LED status indicator cycle, automatic water top-off via pump, and a servo that dispenses food on a schedule - transforming a simple water bath into a repeatable, hands-off culinary tool. Whether you are an engineering student prototyping a food-tech device or a home chef pursuing restaurant-quality consistency, this project delivers real-world automation you can use in your kitchen.
What You'll Build
A complete sous-vide controller that reads a waterproof DS18B20 temperature probe, switches a heater relay to maintain exact cooking points within �0.5�C, drives an LED lighting cycle through the DS3231 RTC to show cooking phases, and manages water levels with a sensor-triggered pump while a servo feeds ingredients or opens a dispenser at timed intervals - all presented on a crisp 16x2 LCD with I2C backpack. You will solder the entire system onto two prototype boards, creating a compact, plug-and-play module that hangs on the side of any cooker.
What You'll Learn
- Calibrate sensors and implement relay-based temperature regulation with hysteresis control
- Integrate a real-time clock to schedule events like LED sequences and servo movements
- Detect liquid level thresholds and automate a pump for hands-off water top-off
- Solder and assemble a multi-module embedded system on custom PCB boards

Who This Kit Is For
This kit is built for B.Tech ECE/EEE students tackling food-tech or IoT projects, Smart India Hackathon participants prototyping kitchen automation, CBSE Class 11-12 students diving deep into microcontroller integration, and ambitious home cooks who want to engineer restaurant-grade sous-vide precision. If you have soldered before and are ready to combine multiple sensors with real-time control, you'll thrive with this project.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project - accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Scan the QR code on the box to chat with the AI companion, or message us on WhatsApp with a photo of your circuit - we'll guide you step by step.
Can I safely control a 220V immersion heater with this kit?
Yes, the 4-channel relay module is rated for 250V AC / 10A. We strongly recommend using a GFCI-protected outlet and placing all high-voltage connections in a sealed enclosure.
Does the water level sensor touch the cooking water?
No, the sensor is a non-contact capacitive type placed on the outside of the container; no electronic components come into contact with food or water.
Can I modify the code for different cooking profiles?
Absolutely. The Arduino firmware is open and well-commented; you can change temperature setpoints, servo schedules, and LED patterns. Our AI companion can assist with customization logic.
Cooking - Controls heater relay, LED lighting cycle via RTC, auto top-off pump via water level sensor and feeding servo on schedule.
