Green Steel Garden is a fully automated hydroponics grow system that gets its name from
the sturdy steel frame it was built on. We use lab-grade sensors to monitor pH and general water quality.
The system will also monitor temperature, humidity, and the amount of light the plants are receiving. Our hydroponics
solution will have the ability to adjust pH, water quality, temperature, and light
levels dynamically through the
use of eight relays that control different peristaltic pumps and fans. In addition, Green Steel Garden is Wi-Fi capable
and will upload all sensor data to a Microsoft Azure
cloud interfaced with influxDB server access for long term trend
analysis. Finally, all readouts and relay controls will be accessible though a custom iOS application designed
specifically for our project.
