Abstract
This paper proposes an IoT-based intelligent hydroponic plant factory solution called PlantTalk. The novelty of our approach is that the PlantTalk intelligence can be built through an arbitrary smartphone. We show that PlantTalk can flexibly configure the connections of various plant sensors and actuators through a smartphone. One can also conveniently write Python programs for plant-care intelligence through the smart phone. The developed plant-care intelligence includes automatic LED lighting, water spray, water pump and so on. As an example, we show that the PlantTalk intelligence effectively lowers the CO2 concentration, and the reduction speed is 53% faster than a traditional plant system. PlantTalk has been extended for a plant factory called AgriTalk.
Highlights
For urban dwellers living in a busy smog-filled city, an excellent way to relax is to grow houseplants.Indoor plants provide a lavish look and can be used to decorate the interior, which changes the look and feel of the home with limited space
We propose the PlantTalk approach that has the potential to create niche products and make plant sensors popular again
This paper presented PlantTalk, an intelligent hydroponic plant-care system
Summary
For urban dwellers living in a busy smog-filled city, an excellent way to relax is to grow houseplants. Unlike PlantTalk, none of the smartphone-controlled plant-care systems [9,10,11,12] allow integration of a camera in their smartphone applications to remotely observe the plants taken care of by the sensors and the actuators. These solutions [9,10,11,12] partially implemented Feature 2 (only supporting Arduino control board).
