Design, Implementation and Testing an Automated Indoor Garden

Abstract

Indoor gardens have gained increasing popularity as they provide a convenient and cost-effective method for growing fresh herbs, vegetables, and recreational plants from the comfort of one’s home. These systems come equipped with automatic watering and advanced features, offering users a hassle-free and rewarding way to cultivate a variety of crops. The automated indoor garden proposed by this paper introduces an indoor gardening system that is not only affordable but can also support a more extensive volume and variety of plants, all within the user’s home. To achieve this goal, the research overcame several challenges such as an appropriate size for indoor use, selection of automation systems, design of the environmental control, mechanical flexibility, and plant yield. The objective of the research is to create a system that is user-friendly, easy to maintain, and offers growers unprecedented control and customization options.
