Proof of Concept for Automated Control and Monitoring System on Plant Growth

Controlled environment agriculture (CEA) is a practice of growing crops in an enclosed environment where environmental factors can be accurately controlled and optimized for plant growth. In this research, the development of an automated control and monitoring system for plant growth is established. The system utilizes various sensors, including a light-dependent resistor (LDR) for measuring light intensity, a digital humidity and temperature sensor (DHT) for measuring humidity and temperature, and a pH sensor for measuring the acidity of the soil. The system also incorporates an automatic watering system that can be controlled and adjusted based on the data collected by the sensors. To monitor the system and the plant growth, an OLED display is integrated to provide real-time information. With the success of the functionality proof, with integration of of hardware and software development; it is highly anticipated for this system to be used in CEA aiming to create an ideal environment for plants, allowing them to grow faster, producing higher yields and improve the quality of the crops.
