Smart Automatic Irrigation Project with Sonoff 4CH Pro R3 and Sonoff Basic







With the evolution of technology, the management of irrigation systems is becoming simpler and more efficient. Whether you have a small garden or a large farm, irrigation automation can optimize water use and reduce human effort. Today, we present to you an innovative automatic irrigation project based on the **Sonoff 4CH Pro R3** and **Sonoff Basic** modules, a simple and efficient solution for remotely controlling solenoid valves and irrigation pumps.


**1. Why choose smart automatic irrigation?**

Automatic irrigation offers many benefits, including:

- **Water optimization**: Automatic irrigation allows you to better manage the amount of water needed for your plants, reducing waste.

- **Remote control**: Thanks to Sonoff modules, you can control the system via a mobile application, wherever you are.

- **Automation**: The integration of humidity sensors and other smart modules allows complete automation according to the actual needs of the soil.


**2. The hardware used**

For this project, we use two types of **Sonoff** modules:

- **Sonoff 4CH Pro R3**: This module can control up to four different electrical circuits, perfect for managing multiple irrigation solenoid valves.

- **Sonoff Basic**: Used here to control the irrigation pump. It is easy to use and allows easy connection with the eWeLink application.


**3. Operating diagram**

The operation of this system is relatively simple:

- **Solenoid valves**: The **Sonoff 4CH Pro R3** is connected to several solenoid valves. Each channel of the module can activate or deactivate a valve according to the irrigation needs of different areas of the garden.

- **Irrigation pump**: The **Sonoff Basic** is connected to the pump. When the application or programming detects a need for water, the Sonoff Basic activates the pump to supply the solenoid valves.


**4. Configuration and installation**

1. **Connecting the solenoid valves to the Sonoff 4CH Pro R3**: Connect each solenoid valve to one of the output channels of the module. Make sure that the module is well connected to the Wi-Fi network.

2. **Connecting the pump to the Sonoff Basic**: Connect the irrigation pump to the Sonoff Basic and also configure it via the eWeLink application.

3. **Programming via the eWeLink app**: Once the modules are installed, use the app to create automatic irrigation scenarios. You can set specific schedules or use humidity sensors to trigger watering.


 **5. Advantages of the system**

- **Ease of installation**: Sonoff modules are easy to set up and do not require advanced electronics skills.

- **Remote control**: Manage your irrigation system from your smartphone, no matter where you are.

- **Energy efficiency**: Sonoff modules consume little energy and allow intelligent management of water resources.


**6. Conclusion**

This smart automatic irrigation project is a great example of using home automation to improve natural resource management. With the **Sonoff 4CH Pro R3** and **Sonoff Basic** modules, you can simplify your irrigation operations, save water, and maximize the efficiency of your garden or farm.
