The Hop Garden: First Smart Garden System on the Air with the Weather Add-on

The first Smart Garden System based on the Raspberry Pi with the Weather Add-on has come up on WeatherSTEM.

What is the the Smart Garden System?

The Smart Garden System allows you to build your own remote monitoring and management system for your indoor or outdoor garden.   Do you want to share your garden and the weather world wide?  You can learn the Raspberry Pi and how to connect to the real world through this easy to build no-soldering kit.   You can measure soil moisture and then use that as feedback to provide your plant or garden just the right about of water.

The Backyard Hop Farm

Thanks to Charles and a lot of quick work, he has his Smart Garden up on WeatherSTEM, Blynk and his monitors around the house.   He is watering his backyard Hops garden by using the Smart Garden System, four valves and four moisture sensors.   He got it working in an amazingly short time.

He is writing up a guest blog that shows his entire build and what he has learned.
