Automação e sustentabilidade : monitoramento utilizando IoT para reduzir o desperdício de recursos na jardinagem

Abstract

The central idea of this work is to remotely monitor and control the essential factors of an environment conducive to gardening. The objective of this approach is to provide the possibility to manage in an intelligent and conscious way the resources that are provided in such activities, considering that changes in habits are necessary to combat the waste of these inputs, more specifically water. Not only that, but proving the feasibility of such management being effective and capable of achieving good results is also a purpose to be achieved to ensure that it is an applicable product in real and potentially scalable environments. To achieve these ends, an environment was devised and assembled that would enable the described study to be carried out using a series of components compatible with the IoT paradigm. With the help of the specific sensors chosen for the task, which are those of soil moisture and luminosity, and a series of other items that interconnected make up a large set, the monitoring of two selected soils with distinct characteristics was carried out, where later the analysis of the data collected was performed, demonstrating the full capacity of the system to achieve the expected purposes. It is possible to state then that, of the goals that the work proposes, both are reached in a satisfactory manner, with some eventual reservations, such as the ability to reconnect to the network and other inconsistencies in the readings, which are capable of instigating possible future work.
