Raspberry Pi: Automated Garden Monitoring SystemStacy, Devin, Brandon
Project Description Goal: implement an
automated greenhouse monitor system. Platforms:
Raspberry Pi for sensor integration
MySQL Database Backend
Android Application Controller
Web Application
Project Description Functions:
Monitor and store various metrics such as light, relative humidity, soil moisture, temperature, water level, etc.
Provide application to view this data remotely, as well as database back end to access and view past statistics.
Explore scalability
Current Market Present Implementation:
Various sensors are monitored separately Current consumers:
greenhouses, hobbyists, farmers Limitations:
Resources, costs, time, accessibility/usability
Our Approach Several sensors
integrated into Raspberry Pi platform that can be monitored from a single convenient application.
Information can be viewed both in real time and by querying the database of past metrics all in the same Android application.
Project Advantage “Smart” devices are on the rise ( tablets, phones,
etc ), high demand. Increasing in availability, usability
An integrated, aesthetically pleasing, easy to use app Market includes garden enthusiasts and with
proper scalability, greenhouse managers. Low costs
Affordability of Raspberry Pi Higher Levels of Customization
Raspberry Pi is open source
Contributions Improves efficiency Allows remote care of plants. Allows user to be constantly plugged in
to their agricultural operation, resulting in better care and plant yield.
Current Progress Sensor Integration
All sensors reporting valid data Android GUI
