Here we are, my first complete project!I had a job, which was to monitor our beloved plant in the office. Not having a green thumb, we have resorted to the help of technology.
How the project worksThere are 3 sensor:
- Ambient Light Sensor = Placed on top of the plant;
- Digital Temperature & Humidity Sensor (SHT31) = Placed in the middle of the plant;
- Temperature & Humidity Sensor (SHT20) = Placed in the ground;
When the humidity is lower than the threshold, a speaker will tell us to water the plant.
Cloud functionI use the Particle cloud function to show, on IoTReady platform (you can see their documentation here), all the values that the sensors capture. Also I use the Particle.plush(), this feature allows the device to generate an event based on a condition. We use this cloud function to generate a json file to create graphs with Grafana.
GrafanaGrafana is a web application for interactive data visualization and analysis.
Node-red is a programming tool for wiring together hardware devices, APIs and online services in new and interesting ways. With this tool we create a flow, with some rules, to make the speaker say to water the plant.
