Automated greenhouse control system monitors and controls various aspect of plant care such as
- Detecting low moisture content of soil and using water pump to compensate moisture level of soil.
- Detecting light intensity and using artificial lights to compensate it.
- Measuring higher or lower temperature and balancing temperature using a fan or heater
In a busy modern world, It is often hard to maintain and take regular care of plants simple task such as regular watering of plants can also be sometimes neglected but no worries this project is here to save the day.
Also, in research labs it makes it easier to develop a suitable environment for much sensitive plants such as maintain proper light and temperature.
Similarly in greenhouses and farms this can minimize the wastage of water by suppling the required water to crops this can also reduce the labor hours needed.
The user can easily monitor and make necessary changes needed with his/her smartphone.
This project is based on Node-MCU and uses Bluetooth module HC-05 to act as a contact with smartphone, it uses 3 primary sensors:
- Temperature sensor (LM 35) to measure ambient temperature.
- Light dependent resistor to measure ambient light intensity.
- Soil moisture sensor with LM 393 comparator to measure water content in soil.
The main videos contain two LEDs and one relay the relay can be connected a water pump, the red LED denotes a fan or a heater unit and the green LED denotes an artificial light.
