The complete system utilizes six major components that work together: an Arduino Mega 2560, a simple user interface comprised of three basic components, a waterproof temperature sensor, a PIR motion sensor, a 2-way low pressure solenoid valve, and a direct coupled actuating mixing valve. This report focuses on the designing process, the testing process, and the functionalities of the system that has been designed. After reading this report, the readers will be able to operate the system and understand how it was designed.en-US
