Abstract
The rapid growth of home gardening, partly due to the organic food movement, has increased
desire and demand for a smarter irrigation solution. In order to tap into this growing agricultural
market, Clearwater Industries has created Aedre, an automated watering solution. Aedre is
designed not only for the home gardener or food producing cooperatives, but rather anyone that
enjoys vegetation for decoration, consumption, or any other use. The Aedre automated irrigation
solution is designed in conjunction with a smartphone based application, or human machine
interface (HMI), that allows users to optimize watering in such a way that plants are neither
under watered nor over watered. The process used to create this system involves data processing
through a microcontroller, saturation level detection through use of moisture sensors, and water
distribution through solenoid valves connected to drip lines.
