About

In response to a growing market for more advanced automatic plant waterers and monitors, far-future is the codename for a new plant monitoring system. By using this advanced plant care system, growing healthy plants is now easier than ever!

Usage

The system requires a few parts:

Main components:

• Raspberry Pi 4
• STM32 Dev Board (e.g., STM32F4DISCOVERY)

Sensors/Peripherals compatible with RPi4:

• HC-06 Bluetooth Module
• BME280 Sensor
• Water Level Sensor
• Fan
• Photoresistor
• Camera Module
• Water pump(s) with supporting hardware (relays, batteries, hoses, etc.)

...and compatible plants suited for the indoors

Step 1: Flash the STM32 board with sensor_control.zip

The STM32cube IDE is recommended to do this.

Step 2: Connect system components

Step 3: Attach sensors and water hoses to plant

Example

Step 4: Run script

$ python3 ./webapp/web-app.py

After running the script, the webpage will be hosted on the RPi4.
