# Tank Level Maintainer

# Introduction

With KiMu's Automate Advanced Kit, we are going to build a system to automatically maintain the water level in the tank. When the water level in the tank falls below a certain value, the pump will start automatically, transferring water to the tank from another reserve tank. A moisture sensor is utilized in this project to determine the water level.
