SOIL MOISTURE AND TEMPRATURE BASED AUTOMATED VERTICAL GARDENING CONTROL SYSTEM

Electrical Engineering

Urbanization which is one of the most serious problems in 21st Century causes many environmental problems such as concrete areas and population increase. Although the decreasing urban green areas cause many environmental problems, it provides a basis for developing vertical garden. The vertical gardens are defined as gardens that cover façade walls with using various plant species by systems. This paper primarily focuses on monitoring and controlling of Green wall environment parameters and automatically. The proposed system is based on various sensors such as moisture sensor and temperature sensor for continuous monitoring the various parameters responsible for plant growth. The present control system is designed using recent ARDUINO due to some important features such as sleep mode, 10- bit ADC, wide input voltage range and also higher memory capacity. A step-by-step approach to design the arduino-based system for monitor and control of the three essential parameters for vertically grown plant growth, i.e. Soil moisture and temperature has been followed. The measurement shows that the system performance is accurate and quite reliable
