Irrighino: A complete watering system based on Arduino Yun

Posted on by Leave a comment

Luca’s Irrighino is a complete automatic watering system using Arduino Yun, and features a configurable number of solenoid valves, AJAX web interface, programmable weekly schedule, and manual activation/deactivation. Luca writes,

An Arduino Yun – the “brain” of irrighino – is connected to the switch panel (with phsical switches and status leds), the rain sensor and the relay board that controls the solenoid valves. Yun is also connected to the home wifi network: a device (PC, smartphone…) connected to the same network can open the irrighino webinterface and configure and control it.

If you have an Internet connection, with the correct NAT (Network Address Translation) settings you can also manage your watering system from a remote location!

This recently posted instructable describes a home electricity monitor with Cloud support that saves the measurements into a Google Drive spreadsheet. The project uses Arduino Yun microcontroller board along with a current transformer for sensing current in the mains live wire. The power monitoring is wireless through Wifi, allowing continuous monitoring from a PC or phone and permanent storage on the Cloud.
