🌻 Gardenia

Gardenia is a greenhouse automation system designed to run on a Raspberry Pi. It collects data from various sensors and modules, and can automate actions such as watering, heating and taking pictures based on conditions.

This project was done as a volunteer for a high school in France.

Requirements

This project is designed to run on a Raspberry Pi with:

A TP-link Tapo account and a Netatmo account are required to use this project. An additional Wifi dongle is required to create a hotspot if a separate network is wanted for modules.

Features

Data graphs
Manage automation targets and rules
Camera stream and pictures
History
System and user management

Installation

Use Raspberry Pi imager to install Raspbian Lite.

Open a shell (using SSH or directly on the Pi) and run the following commands:

# Perform upgrade
