GreenPi

Abstract

GreenPi is a monitoring system for plant growth and development monitoring, which keeps Plant-lovers and greenhouse keepers updated with real time plant conditions. GreenPi handles anomalies for each plant at each different stage, sending anomaly notifications to the user’s phone. It also tracks the growth of each plant displaying current plant conditions and generating progress graphs for the user, showing exact time and conditions on the Android app when conditions are below the threshold, exceeding the threshold and when they are satisfactory. Our system also lets the user know about the future requirements of each plant at each plant stage based on weather forecasts. Hence, helping the plant keepers manage their plants grow strong and healthy. GreenPi also gives the user periodic tips depending on the current stage the plant is in. Apart from that it prompts the user to fertilize their plants at each stage. Our product consists of a Raspberry Pi, temperature, humidity, light and soil moisture sensors, which will collect data from the plant send it to Raspberry Pi. Raspberry will compute the sensor data, add it to the cloud database and if any anomaly in the readings is detected it will send a notification to user’s phone to correct the anomaly. Anomalies will only be notified to the user after the system determines that the readings are actual consistent data, which will help avoid unnecessary notifications. The android app will access the Cloud database to get current plant conditions, Progress graphs and necessity forecasts based on weather forecasts.
