EcoSync Smart Terrarium
Description
This app started as an experiment to view and control Arduinos in real time through a frontend UI. This project is still in development, but this demo shows a simple implementation.
Features
- Smart terrarium dashboard interface to view important information at a glance
- Change settings and activate controls from the dashboard
- Modular UI to easily extend with more sensors and components
- Arduino controller to collect realtime data for humidity, temperature, and more
- Raspberry Pi to act as a local server
Technologies Used
- React and TailwindCSS for the frontend UI
- Python for backend and connecting to Arduino
- Arduino controllers and compatible sensors
Development Process & Motivation
I have messed around with Arduinos in the past, but did not know how to hook up the data to a frontend UI. I saw a project of a self watering garden and I thought it was a perfect chance to test out making a full stack IoT app.
Challenges & Solutions
I think deciding the architecture was one of the biggest challenges. I decided to go with a main Python script running which connects to the Arduino and sets up the API for communication. This script is run on a Raspberry Pi which acts as a local server.
Future Plans & Improvements
- Build a complete prototype, all necessary hardware hooked up
- Design and 3D print the housing for the final components
- More sensors, camera feed connected
