Sistema de monitoramento IoT para cultivos de plantas

Abstract

Growing plants in domestic environments is widely practiced as a hobby due to its health benefits for those who practice it, or because of the pleasant aesthetics that contact with nature provides. Although it has many followers, this practice can be hindered by the lack of time in busy routines or because it is difficult to measure the conditions in which the plant is found without tools. This technical report describes the process of idealization, development and validation of the open source system for caring for domestic plants. The main objective is to facilitate cultivation by providing an easy-to-use IoT platform with information about the environment in which a plant is found, such as soil and air humidity, light and temperature, in addition to providing automated care for the plant, such as watering and fertilization. The validation tests of the system showed efficient and easy-to-use automation, with the potential to encourage cultivation.
