Environmental monitoring web app for gardens, greenhouses, and fish tanks. Using a Raspberry Pi and drivers for Bosch I2C sensors, Atlas Scientific I2C sensors and peristaltic dosing pumps, and PWM controlled fans, a garden, greenhouse, or fish tank can be monitored and controlled from any web-capable device.
This project is in the early stages of development. The hardware drivers for the Bosch BMP280/BME280 environmental sensor, Atlas Scientific devices, and sensors supported by lm-sensors are mostly complete. The web-based user interface is currently the main development focus, and currently has limited useability (output of sensor data is the only feature currently supported).
- Drivers
- Add PWM controller for fans and other PWM controlled devices.
- Update other drivers to depend on same library as the PWM controller.
- Add missing functionality to the AtlasScientfic driver.
- Support for dosing pumps, temperature, pH, electrical conductivity, oxygen reduction potential, and dissolved oxygen sensors are mostly complete, but not fully tested. Support for other devices is limited to basic functions.
- Add a soil moisture driver.
- Vegetronix VH400 is one hardware option.
- Here is another option.
- Here is one more option.
- Add a driver for using a webcam to produce still and time-lapse style video of the garden.
- User Interface
- Add configuration user interface with authentication.
- Create a theme and make the UI nice to look at.
- Use websockets to update data display. Alternatively, auto-refresh the page periodicaly.
- General
- Add unit conversion.
- Add support for responding to events (e.g., increase fan speed if air temperature gets too high).
- Rework device command queue to be more responsive.
- Fix the shutdown sequence.
- Documentation
- Document config.json.
- Add installation instructions.
