This kit lets you construct a reliable system that uses an HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor to continuously measure the water level and a 5V relay to shut off a solenoid valve or pump motor the moment the tank reaches full capacity. It's a practical home automation project that solves a real Indian household problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Build\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou'll create a working automatic water level controller. The ultrasonic sensor sits at the top of the tank, sending pulses downward. When the Arduino detects the distance equivalent to a full tank, it triggers the relay to close the inlet valve. Green and red LEDs indicate power and valve status at a glance. The circuit runs on a 9V battery, so it's portable and safe to test without mains wiring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Learn\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInterface an HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor with Arduino Uno and convert raw echo pulses into accurate centimetre readings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProgram logical decisions based on real-time distance thresholds to prevent false triggers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eControl a 5V relay module to safely switch external devices like solenoid valves or pumps\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIntegrate visual feedback using LEDs and protective diodes, understanding flyback protection with 1N4007 diodes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKit Contents\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eComponent\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eQuantity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eArduino Uno R3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHC-SR04 Ultrasonic Sensor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5V Relay Module\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5mm Red LED\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5mm Green LED\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1N4007 Diode\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10k?
