Plant-o-Matic is an automated plant care and monitoring system implemented on Raspberry Pi Model 3 B+ with the help of C++, nginx and FastCGI.
For some people plants are parts of their families and taking care of their plant is as crucial as for other people to take care of their pets. For others, they are something they keep forgetting about because of the busy schedule or heaps of thoughts.If you belong to the latter category, this project is for you! With it's help, it is possible not just to grow a plant, but also monitor it's state and other related data.
System senses the soil moisture and the surrounding temperature and humidity. With the help of ultrasonic sensor, it is possible to observe the water level of your home reservoir to see if the water is enough to feed your plant while you are out of home. If the soil is gets dry and there is appropriate water level, water pump will automatically start and irrigate the plant.
Data monitoring is done in a web application, which is hosted on the Raspberry Pi.
Before purchasing any device and starting to work with it, it is important to check its datasheet/manual. For this project, we've collected this information for each device. You can check it in the Hardware folder.

If not, please visit our wiki page for detailed instructions.
To built:
cmake .
make
To run: Run it with the command:
./Plant
To test:
ctest
Start Plant in the background with:
nohup ./Plant &
which creates sockets under /tmp/soilsocket, /tmp/tempsocket,/tmp/humsocket, /tmp/ultrasonicto communicate with the fastcgi server.
