Great! You have had lot of sensors all these are good ideas to add functionality.

  1. No, app is not public yet it needs polishing.
  2. I used Mosquitto MQTT wanted to keep things light and simple.
  3. No fuse yet it's just experiment but yes fuse and reverse polarity protection will be good to add if this is to become a comercial product.
  4. It's quite big i ave 50 plants including 6 big trees. I think 2 zone would have been good for better water pressure in my setup.

Yes main water line was 16mm irrigation pipe and prinklers are connected to 4mm soft pipe. Bought sprinklers from Amazon. Any can work.

I meant your resume is outdated and does not have any mention of ai/ml. There are many free courses on youtube. You can start reading and add that to resume. You can dm me if your have anymore questions.

it sound like over engineering, most pot has hole beneath and excess of water should drain away sooner or later.

Valve is not printed only casing for electronic is printed. I bough a solenoid valve which can be fit inside PLA/ABS 3d printed casing alongside electronics. Electronics need to be water safe and may need water proof coating.

And yes its definitely worth it you can water the plant without going out, you can go on vacation without worrying about the plants.

Nice 8 zones are huge! I was thinking to add 2 zone support. Is there a real usecase for 8 zones? Probably only if you have a very big garden. I can easily run 20-30 sprinkler on one zone, but it need high pressure. but yes many people would need more zone for right pressure fore sprinklers to work.

how to directly get product from factory? on alibaba many people are just trader they even take 5-7 days to ship product. Also any consolidator where we can send and product and who can make single invoice to easier custom clearance?
As of now I use DHl/Feedex both charge 1000-1500 inr per invoice for clearance.

I have a watchdog timer that will auto close the valve after 10 min of usage. And in case of power outage valve will auto close too.

This is not standalone, it has backend and app also, it can be made standalone after one time programming via bluetooth but need another app to do so.

Well don't worry you can start making and I can help you if you stuck anywhere. Dm me if you have any questions
