Smart Planter
Abstract
This project aims at developing an automatic irrigation and lighting system for plants. An Android app allows a user to remotely monitor and manually control the watering and lighting for the plant.
Objectives & Introduction
The SJOne board sends sensor readings to an Android app through a server. The Android app can also send commands to the SJOne board through the server (such as turning the water pump on or off).
An Android Things app runs on a Raspberry Pi 3 to provide Internet connectivity to the SJOne board and to get timestamps of when the plant was last watered (future enhancements can include more useful features with APIs from Google). The two boards communicate over UART.

Design & Implementation
The design section can go over your hardware and software design. Organize this section using sub-sections that go over your design and implementation.
Hardware Design
Discuss your hardware design here. Show detailed schematics, and the interface here.
Hardware Interface
In this section, you can describe how your hardware communicates, such as which BUSes used. You can discuss your driver implementation here, such that the Software Design section is isolated to talk about high level workings rather than inner working of your project.
Software Design
Show your software design. For example, if you are designing an MP3 Player, show the tasks that you are using, and what they are doing at a high level. Do not show the details of the code. For example, do not show exact code, but you may show psuedocode and fragments of code. Keep in mind that you are showing DESIGN of your software, not the inner workings of it.
Implementation
This section includes implementation, but again, not the details, just the high level. For example, you can list the steps it takes to communicate over a sensor, or the steps needed to write a page of memory onto SPI Flash. You can include sub-sections for each of your component implementation.
Testing & Technical Challenges
Describe the challenges of your project. What advise would you give yourself or someone else if your project can be started from scratch again? Make a smooth transition to testing section and described what it took to test your project.
Include sub-sections that list out a problem and solution, such as:
My Issue #1
Discuss the issue and resolution.
Conclusion
Conclude your project here. You can recap your testing and problems. You should address the "so what" part here to indicate what you ultimately learnt from this project. How has this project increased your knowledge?
Project Video
Project Source Code
References
Acknowledgement
Any acknowledgement that you may wish to provide can be included here.
References Used
List any references used in project.
Appendix
Future enhancements:
- Automatically get the timezone based on the location of the board that is running the Android Things app (using the Google Maps Timezone API).
- Add push notifications.
- I.e. a soft watchdog in the SJOne application can tell the Android Things app to alert the user (if a possible failure has been detected).
- Add support to turn watering and lighting on or off through voice commands (using the Google Assistant SDK).
