Movable mini-Hydroponic Home Garden with Automated Monitoring System

ABSTRACT

People always wanted to access natural things, like gardens, fresh forests, and agricultural fields which are associated with a range of health benefits. Studies have shown that exposure to natural and green space reduces stress, creates a happy mood, increases satisfaction in life and mental stimulation. The new normal created by the Covid 19 pandemic, has brought people to create gardens in their own place. The limiting things for people to adapt gardens in their own place 1) Larger space is required to create a garden. 2) More water consumption 3) Consistent care for the plants 4) Doesn't have knowledge about the plants. Our project mainly focuses on these issues by providing an IOT based 'Movable mini hydroponic home garden with automated monitoring system' suitable for any geographic situation. We adopt the hydroponic concept, to create a movable garden, which can fit into any place like balconies, a small placecorner in the room. Also, it needs very minimal care and water consumption would also be minimal. Daylight and nighttime that the plant receives to determine the health of the plant. Therefore, we track the time the plant is exposed to sunlight and nighttime, which can be used to on the bulb (in case of indoor) or intimate the owner about the same. In the same way, the heat of the environment is also monitored and intimated to the owner, in the case of indoor, we either on the fan exhaust. The particular nutrition that the plant needs is been monitored by the sensor and intimated if it exceeds deficient. Insect bug could be detected by the sound it makes and the buzzer would be used to move it away from the plant. Daily messages would be given to the lower about the status of the plant, so they need not worry about the plant. © 2022 IEEE.
