pwrplnt

pwrplnt is an Arduino powered system for automatic gardening. It uses several sensors and actuators to enable a standalone operation of your herb garden.

Hardware needed:

  • Arduino (Mega if Ethernet support is desired)
  • Water pump
  • LED stripe (grow light, red and blue LEDs)
  • Water reservoir

Minimum sensors/actuators needed for gardening operation:

  • Moisture sensor (analog, e.g. ...)
  • Relais for water pump
  • PWM driver or relais for LED stripe

Optional supported sensors:

  • Temperature/Humidity sensor (DHT11, digital 1-Wire interface)
  • Brightness sensor (analog)
  • Fill level sensor (for low water level Alarm)
  • RTC module for more exact timing
  • Ethernet/Wifi Shield for observation and plotting of data
