Architectural Design

• React - Frontend application
• Elastic Beanstalk - Deployed application is stored in elastic beanstalk
• Amazon API Gateway - Routes to call auto on, auto off, and water once
• AWS Lambda - Invokes systems manager to trigger the RPI
• AWS Systems Manager - Registers a RPI to control the Pi
• Raspberry Pi - The device to water the plant
• AWS IoT Core - IoT Core is a managed cloud service that lets connected devices easily and securely interact with cloud applications and other devices
  • AWS DynamoDB - RPI sends data to DynamoDB to store low moisture data.
  • AWS SES - The subscribed user will receive a low moisture email notification
  • AWS SMS - The subscribed user will receive a low moisture text message notification
