| Title | Compact IoT-Enabled Deep-Water Culture (DWC) Hydroponic System |
| Summary | This project builds a compact Deep-Water Culture (DWC) hydroponic system with built-in Internet-of-Things monitoring and control. An ESP32 microcontroller reads pH, electrical conductivity (EC), water temperature, water level, room temperature / humidity and light level to keep plants in good growing conditions with minimal user effort. Pumps and lights are switched by a relay board for safe and reliable control. The air pump runs continuously for aeration; the small circulation pump runs on set intervals to mix nutrients while the LED grow light follows timed light schedules that can be adjusted. Safety is designed in with two float switches (low level cut-off and overflow protection), inline fuses, waterproof cable glands and strict separation between wet parts and the sealed electronics box. Data is shown locally on a simple ESP32 web page (with live status and manual controls) and synced to Arduino Cloud for history and alerts. The project delivers a calibrated working prototype, clear calibration steps, a build-and-safety guide and a live dashboard. |
