Greenhouse Soil Manager Kit with Arduino Nano + Sensor
Greenhouse Soil Manager Kit with Arduino Nano: Solar-Powered Irrigation & Deep Sleep
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
You’ll build a self-sufficient greenhouse watering system that uses two soil moisture sensors to trigger a pump only when needed, powered entirely by a solar-charged battery. The controller sleeps deeply between checks, stretching runtime for days on cheap rechargeable cells. This is a hands-on project for school science fairs, AgriTech hackathons, or anyone exploring precision polyhouse farming — no more manual watering or wasted energy.
What You'll Build
A complete, field-deployable prototype of a solar-powered soil moisture monitoring and automatic irrigation system. The device reads moisture from two probe points, compares thresholds, activates a mini submersible pump via relay, and then enters deep sleep to drastically reduce energy consumption. You’ll have a working unit that demonstrates real-time smart agriculture concepts.
What You'll Learn
- Program Arduino Nano for periodic sensor reading and relay control
- Implement low-power sleep modes and wake-up timers in embedded C
- Design a solar charging circuit with TP4056, 18650 cells and blocking diodes
- Debug analog soil moisture signals and set custom calibration thresholds

Who This Kit Is For
Designed for CBSE Class 11–12 students tackling physics or computer science projects, B.Tech ECE/EEE learners prototyping IoT in agriculture, and teams at Smart India Hackathon or ATL Tinkering Labs. Agri-engineering undergrads exploring low-cost greenhouse automation will find the deep-sleep and solar design immediately applicable, as will anyone at ICAR or state farm science centres testing sensor-based irrigation.
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?
Simply scan the QR code on the box to chat with the AI companion tailored to this kit. It can debug your circuit or code in real time, and we offer human backup over WhatsApp.
How do I calibrate the sensors for my local soil type?
You can adjust the moisture threshold values directly in the Arduino sketch. The AI companion will guide you through a simple serial monitor test to find the right dry/wet limits for your soil.
Can I control a larger water pump with this kit?
The included relay can switch up to 10A at 250V AC, so it can drive a bigger pump or solenoid valve. Just ensure the external pump’s power supply is separate from the Arduino circuit, and the AI guidance will show you how.
How long does the system run on a full charge?
With deep sleep and two 18650 cells, the controller can run for 3–5 days depending on pump activation frequency and sunlight. The solar panel recharges the batteries daily when placed in adequate light.
