SMART BALCONY PLANT CARE SYSTEM
FROM A RENEWABLE RESOURCES
János Simon University of Szeged, Faculty of Engineering, Department of Mechatronics and Automation Received: 21st May 2024. ABSTRACT This article proposes a smart irrigation system that helps to maintain a balcony plants. The system provides real-time
information about the environmental parameters as humidity level of soil, temperature of surrounding environment, and status of the watering reservoir.
Fuzzy logic controller is used to compute input parameters like soil moisture, temperature water tank level and to produce outputs of the water pump
status. The system allows the collection of rainwater or condensate water from the air conditioner into a tank or, in the last case, from the water
supply network. This encourages the use of renewable water sources and minimizes water consumption for irrigation purposes from the water supply
network. With the support of this system, it is possible to grow decorative flowers such as geraniums or herbs for your own needs throughout the season.
Geraniums (Geranium Pelargonium) are a perennial favourite both on balconies and in the garden. Its wide range of colours, tolerance and low price also
contribute to its popularity. KEY WORDS CLASSIFICATION
