The Avocado (or basically any plant) monitoring system helps you make more data driven decisions when it comes to taking care of your plants. It monitors your plant's height, air temperature, air humidity, light conditions and soil moisture and sends data straight to Grafana Cloud's Loki and Prometheus. You can then visualise your data in Grafana's dashboard and set up alerts that will notify you when is the best time to water your plant.
This project was part of GrafanaCONline 2021 Easy DIY IoT projects with Grafana session.
To start, review and follow steps in the Grafana DIY IoT repo.
To build this system, you will need:
- 1 DHT11 sensor to measure temperature and humidity
- 1 HC-SR04 ultrasonic distance sensor
- 1 Soil moisture sensor
- 1 TEMT6000 light sensor
- 1 LED display MATRIX MAX7219 LED display
- 1 ESP32 DEVKIT DOIT development board
- 7 F-F, M-F && M-M Dupont cables
- 1 micro USB cable
- 1 USB charger
Plus:
- 1 plant stand to put this all together and build the monitoring system
