MyPi-GrowBox

It does not any need internet connection. No online dependencies in .php.

How / Comment

[EN] Based on sensors, the main program witten in python, will write/append in a file all sensors datas with date and time. index.php will read the file and explodes the values to fill a table with dates and datas. No automation involved and won't be added. (For watering, there are nice products existing that dont need power to water plants - ceramic is the best.) I'm not working with hydroponic systems.

[FR] En utilisant les données de différents capteurs, pour renseigner un fichier de données avec horodatage. La partie PHP exploite ces données pour remplir un tablea de suivi.

Why / Pourquoi

[EN] Log all sensors datas of a GrowBox (growing plants indoor) and then having charts or tables to supervise the growth conditions. [FR] Enregistrer les données des capteurs placés dans une GrowBox (espace de culture en intérieur) et en sortir des tableaux, des statistiques etc.

What

temperature and humidity from DHT11 sensor
light sensor
UV sensor
hall effect sensor
PHP server (i'm using a raspberry zero for MyPi-GrowBox)
Le Pi zéro étant peu puissant, j'ai choisi de n'utiliser que du .php et des fichiers .txt pour traiter les données.
Il suffit d'un serveur http type apache.
Un programme en python écrit les données des capteurs, et prend des photos à intervalles réguliers.
La partie php permet l'exploitation des données, et l'enregistrement de notes horodatées pour un journal de culture.

While we can't prevent the use of this code in products that are closed source or crippled by a patent, we would prefer that you choose another firmware or, better yet, make your own.

Future

camera for timelapse
separate by months
show 'last 50 measures' / 'last 30 days'
use of charts
use of Bootstrap/Dashboard
separate .php pages/codes
add raspberry system ressources dashboard
button or movement detection, to mark watering
from file to MySQL and then
- dynamic possibilities like adding new sensor/new label
