Autonomous unit for growing indoor plants
Pluskal, Petr ; Appel, Martin (referee) ; Věchet, Stanislav (advisor)
This bachelor's thesis focuses on the design and assembly of an autonomous cultivation system for indoor plants in households. Autonomous and efficient cultivation of indoor plants poses a challenge for many home gardeners due to the constant need for care and attention. The thesis discusses the basic requirements and conditions for quality plant growth, such as temperature, soil moisture, air humidity, and lighting. Suitable sensors for measuring these key parameters are selected, and the thesis addresses their integration and implementation into the entire system. The unit's construction is realised using 3D printing, analysing its properties, particularly regarding waterproofing and contact with organic elements. These insights inform the printing of individual parts of the system. Combining printed parts, sensors, and a programmed Arduino system creates a functional autonomous plant cultivation system. Monitored data are directly utilised in the system's code, statistically processed, and visualised using the ThinkSpeak service. Experimental results demonstrate the successful functionality of the system in maintaining optimal conditions for plant growth and development. This autonomous cultivation system represents an innovative solution for simplifying the care of indoor plants in a home environment.
