"Technology House" Teaches you how to grow efficient plants with sensors

Speaking of flowers this matter is a matter of talent, there are all kinds of tulips live, there are species of cactus all kinds of dead. So, let's talk about how "tech homes" raise their planting standards.

People can not communicate directly with the flowers, so when no experience can only guess, when to water, when to fertilize, when to move out in the sun - accidentally it is still dead. The technical home concluded that this is unscientific.

There are many such people, which explains why firefighting projects related to cultivation have been on the crowdfunding platform this year. Sensor, automatic irrigation, "smart soil" These are the kind of flowers and plants of the weapon.

To quantify, to be precise

Quantification and precision are roughly the seeds you plant into a sensor-filled basin, or you can plug in a wireless device to the edge of the flower if it's outdoors.

So sensors continue to put the temperature and humidity, soil moisture, light data collected back, and even soil pH. After these sensors have accumulated enough data, the device alerts the user or directly controls the other modules for further action.

Like animals, plants also have hormones that regulate their growth and development. Plant hormones make them form plant shapes, causing tomatoes to mature, leaves to fall, and roots to grow downward. Auxin is crucial to the development of the plant body. Some sensors monitor the rapid changes in auxin, allowing researchers to observe auxin redistribution in response to plant development in near real time. Because almost all plant development is controlled by auxin - from embryonic patterns to development, then regulation of leaf and root growth and even the shape of the flower. The use of sensors to determine where and when auxin in plant tissue accumulates will help us design new shapes, sizes and attributes of plants.

PlantLink relies on a lipstick-like Link and a vanity-sized Base. Link with two probes that plug it into the soil of the plant you are testing can send data to Base via Wi-Fi, upload it to the company cloud service and record it on the site's user account, every 5 to 10 Minutes, the data will be updated. If it is too dry, and users can e- mail notifications or SMS notification way to get a reminder, go to watering. There are similar products such as HarvestGeek will give users a detailed planting analysis report. What the sensor does is tell you what the flowers can not say.

To be open, to share

BhutJolokia is said to be not only one of the hottest peppers on earth, but also one of the hardest-to-be harvested plants; so John Gordon, the technology house, said "I'm going to plant this stuff." At that time in 2011, the concept of the Internet of things has not so in-depth today, Gordon himself hanging an Arduino edge of the pepper.

Finally, Gordon finally got the Pepper's Planting Tips and then he shared the data on Arduino with an open source community. This is probably the origin of crowdsourcing.

HarvestGeek goes further than Gordon, where users can choose to share their own planting data or share other traffic. The accumulation of such UGC finally get some of the most simple plant planting methods.
