IoTree: ambiente sensorizado para cultivo de horticulturas

Abstract

The growth of plants in homes became popular due to the change in mentality about sustainability and healthiness. However, cultivation requires time, space, knowledge and other factors, which keep people away from the interest of growing gardens. Thus, this work aims to create a sensorized environment for the cultivation of residential horticultures. For this, the factors that most impact on the development of plants were mapped and a database was developed capable of storing those data. Connected directly to the database, a mobile application was built to show the user real-time information of a plants’ environment, which were collected from the sensors that are within the elaborated compact greenhouse model.
