Last crawled date: 4 years, 7 months ago
Monitor your garden with this IoT powered Garden Gnome!
Sensors: Outdoor Temperature, Humidy, Soil Maisture, Swimming Pool Temperature and Water Level
Power: LiPo Battery and Solar Panel
Radio: Wifi and Cloud enabled with online/mobile dashboard https://freeboard.io/board/7XJ6_T
Requires
1 Particle Photon WiFi controller
1 LiPo Rider Solar Battery Charger
1 Solar Panel
1 Waterproof Temperature Sensor, DHT11 Sensor and Soil Moisture
1 Breadoard + Various Resistances
(Average cost: ~60$)
How To
Assemble the circuit following the pictures below, then add some duct tape to keep all the parts on the breadboard and insert it in the gnome.
The cables for the sensors can be passed through the rear hole with the small cover over it to avoid that the rain will go inside.
All the juncture of the gnome model are embossed to avoid water/humidity.
Best printed in Laybrick or Wood filaments. Can be painted in acrylic to better impermeability.
The Code
Load the code in the attachments of this thing to your Particle Build IDE (PARTICLE-LOOP, ONEWIRE and HTTPCLIENT libraries required, found in the libraries section)
Change the Dweet name in the first part of the script to a name of your choice
Open the Freeboard dashboard and clone it (with the Clone button at the bottom of the dashboard) and change the Datasource on the top right panel with your dweet name.
