Project Overview: Fogponics Control

Description:

The Fogponics Control project is designed to facilitate the indoor cultivation of various types of plants through a fogponics system. Fogponics, a variation of hydroponics, involves delivering nutrients to plants through a fog or mist. This project incorporates a comprehensive control system to optimize plant growth conditions and allows users to cultivate both standard and user-defined plant varieties indoors.

Key Features:

1. Plant Compatibility: The system supports the growth of diverse plant types, providing a versatile solution for indoor gardening. Users can choose from standard plant profiles or define custom settings based on specific plant requirements.
2. Mobile App Integration: An intuitive mobile application is integrated with the system, allowing users to easily set fog and light schedules. This feature provides flexibility and control over the environmental conditions required for optimal plant growth.
3. Sensor Data Collection: The device incorporates various sensors to collect essential data for plant cultivation. These sensors measure water level, temperature, humidity, light intensity, electrical conductivity (EC), and pH levels in the growing environment.
4. Cloud Transmission: The collected sensor data is transmitted to the cloud, enabling remote monitoring and control. This ensures that users can access real-time information about their indoor garden from anywhere, enhancing the convenience and efficiency of plant management.
5. Data-Driven Adjustments: With the collected data, users can make informed decisions to adjust environmental conditions for the best possible plant growth. This data-driven approach empowers users to create and maintain an optimal environment tailored to the specific needs of their plants.

Main Challenge: pH Sensing

One of the primary challenges addressed by this project is the accurate sensing of pH levels in the growing medium. pH is a critical factor influencing nutrient availability to plants. The Fogponics Control system overcomes this challenge by implementing advanced pH sensing technology, ensuring precise measurements. The reliable monitoring of pH levels enables users to make necessary adjustments to maintain an ideal pH range for their plants, promoting healthy growth.

The Fogponics Control project provides a sophisticated solution for indoor plant cultivation, offering customization, remote control, and data-driven optimization. The focus on overcoming challenges related to pH sensing underscores the commitment to creating a comprehensive and effective system for cultivating a wide variety of plants in an indoor setting.
