Project Overview
The primary goal of this project is to create a device that automates many of the time consuming aspects of growing plants by automating soil data collection along with water and fertilizer dispensation. This will be accomplished by pairing a variety of sensors with a microcontroller that will periodically send its sensor data to a server. This data will then be accessible via a mobile app where it will be displayed in a visually convenient way. Additionally, the device will be equipped with water and fertilizer reservoirs. The server will send commands to dispense this water and fertilizer based on the sensor data so that the plant always has the nutrients it needs.
