Description

The aim of the project is to design and develop a modular smart greenhouse that is capable of detecting and responding to a number of changes in environmental conditions in real time. Sensors are used to measure soil moisture, humidity, temperature, UV light and air quality. The system also incorporates LED lighting, heating and watering systems with automated and manual control. Real-time measurements are displayed on an online web portal enabling the user to view the real-time and historic growth of the plant. The SmartGreenhouse enables users to monitor and manage their plant growth environment remotely, so you never have to water your plants again! This is an ideal system for working professionals and students, or those who live in unpredictable climates. The design can even be scaled up for use in small scale farms.
