The automated plant irrigation system only waters the plants if the moisture of the soil is below normal (which means the plants require water!!). Octopod, a uniquely shaped full automation system that allows you to monitor your industry and keep security with AI and smart RFID locks. There are three versions of Open Garden available, with sensors and other equipment customized for indoor, outdoor, or hydroponic growing. It’s a product of Cooking Hacks, the online IoT component store and open source hobbyist community run by Libelium (See our interview with Alicia Asín Pérez the CEO and co-founder here). With a bit of PHP code, these components can be programmed to operate on a schedule or in response to data from the various Open Garden sensors, so the plants can more or less take care of themselves. Parrot Pot, unveiled earlier this month at CES, combines environmental sensors and automatic watering to create a sleek and happy home for indoor and outdoor plants. Arduino in base control panel is programmed to on the relay at a specific time, with the help of real time clock module. We may earn money when you click on links on our site. Effectively working in the same way as other indoor smart gardens, the Sprout utilizes a combination of ‘plug and play’ plant pods, hydroponics for watering. The moisture sensor is attached with a panel box (Sensor box) as shown below with an XBee module which transfer data wirelessly, to the main panel box with the relay. It promises a year of battery life.
