Development Of Automated Mini Greenhouse Embedded With Arduino

Many apartment dwellers dream of growing plants in their own home. But,they are limited with the space and time for planting a fresh healthy plant in their home. However, it doesn’t have to be a dream anymore as we are introducing a portable mini greenhouse to accommodate this community. A greenhouse is used to grow plants such as flowers, vegetables and fruits under the controlled climatic conditions for efficient production, forms an important part of the agriculture and horticulture sectors. A mini greenhouse also has such quality with the extra advantages as it comes in compact sizes which fit in the apartment lifestyles. The mini greenhouse proposed by this project uses an automatic monitoring system to monitor the temperature, humidity and water supply for the plant of the mini greenhouse. This will accommodate the user to monitor their greenhouse remotely. This automated greenhouse monitoring system also collects the data from the greenhouse measured by the sensors and the results will be shown on the LCD screen for easy monitoring purposes. It is easy to install yet comes with low cost monitoring system. In addition, it will provide more convenient and low maintenance system for the mini greenhouse user who desires to plant at home but has a very limited fund and space in their living area.
