Automatização de estufa para controle de ambiente de cultivo de plantas em contexto residencial

Abstract

This project consists in the assembly of a prototype greenhouse for controlling the cultivating environment for plants in a domestic situation, with controls for environment variables that influence plant growth and development. The project bases itself on the concept of Internet of Things (IoT) for the overseeing and regulation of the cultivation environment for plants, including controls for photoperiodism, soil humidity, ventilation and temperature. The project includes an ESP-32 microcontroller, which is programmed to control these variables and read their feedback loop through the use of peripheral sensors. This microcontroller comunicates with an IoT platform called ThingSpeak which stores the project’s data. With this type of control, it’s possible that plant species which are not adapted to indoors environments may develop without depending on the external environment. At the end of this report, the results are presented based on the information gathered from the prototype in action, and they’ll be evaluated to see if the developed project satisfies the conditions required for the end-goal, which is the automated control of plant cultivation variables in a domestic environment
