Here are his thoughts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis was a great project to design and build. It was really an interesting process learning about the sensors, how to interconnect them and then learning about flow meters, USB Pumps and especially the software bringing them all together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere is the science and engineering in this project? All through it from the bottom to the top. I could go through the entire system, but that will have to wait. The most interesting points? One, we are using \u003cstrong\u003efeedback in the system\u003c\/strong\u003e. Negative feedback to be exact. We aren't just watering on a timer, we are looking at the soil moisture and if it is high enough, we don't water. We don't water unless we need to. Very cool. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSecondly, the sensors we have in this project are amazing. For example, the Air Quality sensor is very, very sensitive. We can detect hairspray from 50 feet away (more on that in an update). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThirdly, I got a lot out of learning how to display the data from Smart Garden on the Blynk IOT App for Android and iPhones and I had a lot of fun designing the Alexa app, although they made me take out all the cool statements. Such as asking Smart Garden \"who is the coolest person you know?\". The answer to that was obvious to me, but since it was debatable, we removed it. :(\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2018-10-28T18:38:15-07:00","created_at":"2018-10-28T17:04:10-07:00","vendor":"SwitchDoc Labs","type":"Retired","tags":["Garden"],"price":13500,"price_min":13500,"price_max":13500,"available":false,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":14500,"compare_at_price_min":14500,"compare_at_price_max":14500,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":12602591871020,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"0340-SGSKIT-DSBT","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":false,"name":"Smart Garden System (Version 1 -

Here are his thoughts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis was a great project to design and build. It was really an interesting process learning about the sensors, how to interconnect them and then learning about flow meters, USB Pumps and especially the software bringing them all together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere is the science and engineering in this project? All through it from the bottom to the top. I could go through the entire system, but that will have to wait. The most interesting points? One, we are using \u003cstrong\u003efeedback in the system\u003c\/strong\u003e. Negative feedback to be exact. We aren't just watering on a timer, we are looking at the soil moisture and if it is high enough, we don't water. We don't water unless we need to. Very cool. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSecondly, the sensors we have in this project are amazing. For example, the Air Quality sensor is very, very sensitive. We can detect hairspray from 50 feet away (more on that in an update). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThirdly, I got a lot out of learning how to display the data from Smart Garden on the Blynk IOT App for Android and iPhones and I had a lot of fun designing the Alexa app, although they made me take out all the cool statements. Such as asking Smart Garden \"who is the coolest person you know?\". The answer to that was obvious to me, but since it was debatable, we removed it. :(\u003c\/p\u003e"});window.BOLD.common.Shopify.saveVariant(12602591871020, { variant: {"id":12602591871020,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"0340-SGSKIT-DSBT","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":false,"name":"Smart Garden System (Version 1 - Retired) - Raspberry Pi based Smart Gardening Kit - No Soldering!","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":13500,"weight":454,"compare_at_price":14500,"inventory_quantity":0,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"deny","barcode":"088234728839","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}, inventory_quantity: 0, product_id: 1406996742188, product_handle: "smart-garden-system-raspberry-pi-based-smart-gardening-kit-no-soldering", price: 13500, variant_title: "Default Title", group_id: '', csp_metafield: {}});window.BOLD.common.Shopify.saveProduct("smart-garden-system-v2-raspberry-pi-based-smart-gardening-kit-no-soldering", 5402761560231, {"id":5402761560231,"title":"Smart Garden System (V2) - Raspberry Pi based Smart Gardening Kit - No Soldering!","handle":"smart-garden-system-v2-raspberry-pi-based-smart-gardening-kit-no-soldering","description":"\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eThe Smart Garden System - Raspberry Pi Plant Watering and Environmental Kit with Wireless Sensors\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.switchdoc.com\/products\/smartgarden3-base-unit\"\u003eNote: This product has been replaced with the SmartGarden3 w\/Hydroponics Support. \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e(Documentation, Downloads and Manuals Below)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2455\/2113\/products\/IMG_21922_480x480.jpg?v=1593536495\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Wireless Smart Garden System is finally here!

Here are his thoughts:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis was a great project to design and build. It was really an interesting process learning about the sensors, how to interconnect them and then learning about flow meters, USB Pumps and especially the software bringing them all together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere is the science and engineering in this project? All through it from the bottom to the top. I could go through the entire system, but that will have to wait. The most interesting points? One, we are using \u003cspan class=\"bold\"\u003efeedback in the system\u003c\/span\u003e. Negative feedback to be exact. We aren't just watering on a timer, we are looking at the soil moisture and if it is high enough, we don't water. We don't water unless we need to. Very cool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSecondly, the wireless weather sensors we have in the SGS System + Weather are amazing. You can mount our accurate 8-in-1 weather sensors outside! All ready waterproofed. The technology we use to read these sensors, SDR (Software Defined Radio) technology is amazing. And we give you the source code.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThirdly, I got a lot out of learning how to display the data from Smart Garden on your Raspberry Pi, on the WeatherSTEM cloud application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis kit is great for kids and adults who are trying to learn about new technology and want to be able to modify their own software and hardware. All our software is open source in the Smart Garden System.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1 class=\"page-anchor\" id=\"h:a-little-history\"\u003eA Little History\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwitchDoc Labs started out in the Raspberry Pi Gardening System in 2017 with the Simple SmartPlantPi Kickstarter. In 2018 we introduced a more complex and nuanced system, the Smart Garden System. Now in 2020 we have introduced a modular, sophisticated Raspberry Pi based Smart Garden System that includes weather, multiple wireless sensors, a distributed control system and web and cloud based displays. SwitchDoc Labs will be building modules for the SGS system for many more years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe are working hard to make our system modular so makers can add their own hardware and software to the system.

It was really an interesting process learning about the sensors, how to interconnect them and then learning about flow meters, USB Pumps and especially the software bringing them all together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere is the science and engineering in this project? All through it from the bottom to the top. I could go through the entire system, but that will have to wait. The most interesting points? One, we are using \u003cstrong\u003efeedback in the system\u003c\/strong\u003e. Negative feedback to be exact. We aren't just watering on a timer, we are looking at the soil moisture and if it is high enough, we don't water. We don't water unless we need to. Very cool. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSecondly, the sensors we have in this project are amazing. For example, the Air Quality sensor is very, very sensitive. We can detect hairspray from 50 feet away (more on that in an update). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThirdly, I got a lot out of learning how to display the data from Smart Garden on the Blynk IOT App for Android and iPhones.\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2021-07-21T12:27:48-07:00","created_at":"2018-11-08T17:55:13-08:00","vendor":"SwitchDoc Labs","type":"Retired","tags":["Garden"],"price":12900,"price_min":12900,"price_max":12900,"available":false,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":12761403654188,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"0341-SGSEXT-DSBT","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":false,"name":"Smart Garden System 4 Plant Extender Kit (V1 -

One, we are using \u003cstrong\u003efeedback in the system\u003c\/strong\u003e. Negative feedback to be exact.

Since we are mostly interested in moist environments when we are using this device, this is a problem. SwitchDoc Labs has come up with a solution for these inexpensive soil moisture detectors by designing a small board that shuts the power off to the moisture sensor with a command from the controlling computer. This board is the GrovePowerSave. It also is used to shut down power to unneeded Grove devices in Solar Powered systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDepending on the amount of moisture and impurities in your water and soil, the HR Grove Moisture Detector will outlast similar moisture sensors by 4 to 5 times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are building a solar powered plant monitoring system, this has the side benefit of reducing your power requirements for the sensor from 35mA to almost nothing (depending on how often you read the sensor!).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow To Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou have three grove Cables that are supplied with the HR Soil Moisture Sensor.

Since we are mostly interested in moist environments when we are using this device, this is a problem. SwitchDoc Labs has come up with a solution for these inexpensive soil moisture detectors by designing a small board that shuts the power off to the moisture sensor with a command from the controlling computer. This board is the GrovePowerSave. It also is used to shut down power to unneeded Grove devices in Solar Powered systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDepending on the amount of moisture and impurities in your water and soil, the HR Grove Moisture Detector will outlast similar moisture sensors by 4 to 5 times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are building a solar powered plant monitoring system, this has the side benefit of reducing your power requirements for the sensor from 35mA to almost nothing (depending on how often you read the sensor!).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow To Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou have three grove Cables that are supplied with the HR Soil Moisture Sensor.
