greensense is a work in progress aiming to collect metrics and inform the owner of a greenhouse. The system will work by employing an array of sensor modules which connect to a singular master module. The sensor modules will be created using an Arduino board powered via battery, communicating with the master via wifi. The master will be ran on a RasberryPi and run a lightweight Linux build to create the necessary wifi network, communicate with the slaves, and transmit the data to the cloud. The final component is a cloud component responsible for taking the data emitted by the sensors and creating graphs and analytics dashboards to track and monitor all aspects of the greenhouse.

The current code is available on the github link. Currently, I have built the sensor module power board and am in the process of fabricating them. The APIs to upload the data to the cloud are also created with cloudFormation.

Will update as work progresses.
