Environmental monitoring web app for gardens, greenhouses, and fish tanks. Using a Raspberry Pi and drivers for Bosch I2C sensors, Atlas Scientific I2C sensors and peristaltic dosing pumps, and PWM controlled fans, a garden, greenhouse, or fish tank can be monitored and controlled from any web-capable device.
This project is in the early stages of development. The hardware drivers for the Bosch BMP280/BME280 environmental sensor, Atlas Scientific devices, and sensors supported by lm-sensors are mostly complete. The web-based user interface is currently the main development focus, and currently has limited useability (output of sensor data is the only feature currently supported).
- Drivers
- Switch current drivers over to WiringPi library.
- Add PWM controller for fans and other PWM controlled devices.
- Add missing functionality to the AtlasScientfic driver.
- Support for dosing pumps, temperature, pH, electrical conductivity, oxygen reduction potential, and dissolved oxygen sensors are mostly complete. Other devices may have only limited functionality.
- Add a soil moisture driver.
- Vegetronix VH400 is one hardware option.
- Here is another option.
- Here is one more option.
- Add a driver for using a webcam to produce still and time-lapse style video of the garden.
- User Interface
- Add configuration user interface with authentication.
- Create a theme and make the UI nice to look at.
- Use websockets to update data display. Alternatively, auto-refresh the page periodicaly.
- General
- Add unit conversion.
- Add support for responding to events (e.g., increase fan speed if air temperature gets too high).
- Rework device command queue to be more responsive.
- Fix the shutdown sequence.
- Documentation
- Document config.json.
- Add installation instructions.
