PlantApp - The PlantApp is a web-based plant moisture monitoring app designed to help users keep their plants healthy by providing real-time data on soil moisture, temperature and light levels. It features a user-friendly interface with visual indicators and alerts to notify users when their plants need attention. This project was build for the Sketching with Hardware SWH class durning my degree. This live preview is fed with dummy data.

Live Preview

Dashboard

The dashboard provides an overview the currently connected plants, displaying their current moisture level and alert statuses. Users can easily identify when the plant needs attention at a glance.

Plant Health Status

Hardware Integration

The app integrates with moisture, temperature and light sensors placed in the soil and next to the plant:

• 1x RaspberryPi Zero W as PlantProbe
• 1x RaspberryPi 3B+ as PlantDB and PlantApp Server
• working sensor data (lighting needs a real and precise sensor)
• working redundant logging on probe and database
• working webapp hosted locally

Prototype and Testing

The prototype was tested with actual plants and I2C sensors to ensure accurate readings and reliable performance.
