Abstract

An automatic monitoring and scheduling management system for plant is a system that is mainly for highland plantation to be planted on low ground. The highland plantations require more attention especially on temperature and humidity. This is because the hot climate condition experienced in most part of Malaysia can easily damage cold climate plants. This system which has similar concept with greenhouse helps farmer to observe and handle plants from extreme climatic conditions. However, this system is more suitable for small scale gardener due to the small size and it is suitable to be placed inside the house. The size and design are flexible as it can be moved anywhere and settings on the software can be done at any time. Moreover, there are four effective environment elements that will be monitored and handled automatically by the system which are temperature, humidity, water and light. The temperature readings and percentages of relative humidity are measured using temperature and humidity sensor. The measured values will be controlled by Raspberry Pi and linked to the web server inside the Raspberry Pi. Then, the monitoring process can be done through website. From the website, graphs showing changes in temperature and humidity over time can be viewed easily. Moreover, databases of temperature and humidity are also displayed in the website. Based on the watering schedule, the plant will be watered twice a day. The presence of a growing light that replaces sunlight allows the plant to get sufficient amount of light to grow well even if it is placed in a dark area. Most importantly, this system also have manual mode on the website for the user. The manual mode allows user to on and off water pump, cooler (peltier), mist maker at any time. This is because human observations are better than the automatic system when observing the condition of plants. Hence, this automatic monitoring and scheduling management system is a system that requires less human energy in handling plants and also allow highland plantation to be planted at any place.
