Paper Abstract:
|
Greenhouses have been a staple of many countries for hundreds of years and personal greenhouses have grown in
popularity since the introduction of the Internet of Things (IoT). IoT have allowed users to control a variety of devices
over the internet, including the ability to monitor and control personal greenhouses. Affordable technologies such as
Raspberry Pi's have been introduced that have the capabilities to control various devices and sensors placed within
greenhouses to monitor and evaluate their conditions. The goal of this study was to create an affordable system that is
capable of remotely monitoring the conditions within personal greenhouses by utilizing IoT technologies. The completed
artefact made use of a Raspberry Pi, along with a GrovePi and various sensors to monitor the conditions within a
greenhouse. Furthermore, WhatsApp communication messages were utilized to inform the user of any undesirable
changes within their greenhouses. The final artefact proved to be cost-effective and displayed the capabilities of utilizing
the IoT architecture to not only monitor personal greenhouses, but to be able to automate certain tasks such as controlling
water pumps and light conditions, and provided the users with all of the necessary features through a user friendly
interface. |
