Although small home gardens have become increasingly popular to manage using IoT devices, managing larger gardens/plots of land and providing more meaningful data useful for maximizing production is expensive, too complicated, or difficult to manage. We are creating a tool that acts as a data collection device rather than a DIY sprinkler system with a thermometer. Our goal is to provide a solution for any sized operation that wants in-depth information about their soil.
This tool will not only help farmers and homesteaders make sure their plants and vegetables are happy and healthy, but will also allow data scientists to gather large information over long periods of time without being tied to any cables.
Our technology consists of a modular data collection system with the ability to communicate wirelessly with a “home-base” module that can collect data from any number of data collection modules. The data collection modules will be solar-powered and will carry an assortment of sensors to give meaningful data back to the user. The user will be able to log into a web application hosted locally that can visualize all the sensor data and access archived data.
