SMART GARDEN

A smart IoT-based system for automating and monitoring family vegetable gardens, featuring Raspberry Pico W as the gateway, STM32F103C8T6 (Blue Pill) as nodes, Firebase as the Server, and LoRa communication.

The system architecture follows the IoT model, with Raspberry Pico W serving as the central gateway and STM32F103C8T6 (Blue Pill) as the distributed nodes. The gateway and nodes communicate using LoRa, a low-power long-range wireless communication protocol. The nodes collect data such as soil moisture, light intensity, and other environmental parameters, sending them to the gateway for processing.

The system features two operation modes:

• Auto Mode: Allows users to set thresholds and schedules for watering, fertilizing, and lighting. Actions are triggered automatically when conditions meet the predefined settings.
• Manual Mode: Enables users to control actions directly through the mobile application.

Users can monitor real-time data and system performance via a smartphone app, ensuring full control over the garden’s environment.

This IoT-based vegetable garden system demonstrates the potential of technology in enhancing everyday life. By automating routine tasks and providing real-time monitoring, it allows users to enjoy the benefits of fresh homegrown vegetables with reduced effort. The system’s modularity and efficiency make it a scalable and practical solution for modern families looking to embrace smart gardening.
