This is Project Flora. Here you can observe for your plants environment and being informed when plan needs your acition: watering, more light, prepare for winter time or planting.

I like driving that project as it requires many different skills and technologies. From electronics and programming to pottery and turnery. And, of course, 3d printing!

Core of the project is sensor connected via WiFi to Internet that sends two times per day envirinment parameters: soil and air temprerature, soil humidity and amount of light. The rest - is software on server, that indetify deviation from plant profile and informs owner on required actions.

Android application "Flora sensor setup assistant" is available to tune sensor after battery replacement to connect to Internet. The application needs name and password of your WiFi to record into sensor memory. After successful sensor setup the application displays sensor serial number that you have to use for sensor registration on the website. To protect your privacy, application do not collect or send the data anywhere.

Technologies used: Linux, Android, MQTT, SQL, Python, Java and C programming, IOT, Web design, 3D design and printing and something else ;-)

I need your feedback and participation. Project is in beta testing phase, nearest plans: training movie on how to activate sensor.

Stay connected.
