Using Edge Computing framework with the Internet of Things for Intelligent Vertical Gardening

Abstract

The semantic sensor node interprets sensor data from the physical devices that make observations using Semantic Web technology and reasoning. One example is the use of conceptual frameworks in automated gardening systems by collecting plant health characteristics and pest resolution models and optimum temperature control models on a regular basis and passing it to a gardener or a caretaker in a flat making it feasible to monitor plant health status from remote locations. At regular intervals, the Bolt IoT platform collects data on the availability of sunlight and soil moisture content for the plants. After processing and validating data with Integromat (cloud-based logic design), an SMS is delivered to our smartphone via Twilio (cloud communication platform), and the user performs the necessary actions depending on the data. This smart horticulture system will give the user ease and comfort even when they are not physically there, allowing people to better care for our garden.
