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
