THE PROJECT

The collaboration between Tomappo and Lifely is the result of an EU-funded experiment, CARROTS (Cooperative ARchitecture for gaRdening with Open moniToring Systems) as part of the TETRAMAX project. The goal of the project is to create a product that can provide users with real-time plant data and suggestions on how to care for their gardens.

The project was created to try to solve the following problems:

Lack of time and effort
Time is a challenge for hobbyists!
Lack of data
Soil and plants do not talk!
Lack of information
Gardening is an ancient art, where can you find information?

THE PRODUCT

The smart sensor we are creating will allow you to monitor your garden! The wireless sensor measures two important factors that influence the growing conditions of a vegetable: temperature and humidity.

SENSOR

- CLEC Technology (Low Energy Custom Calculation)
- Sensors for moisture, brightness and temperature
- WiFi enabled
- Minimum Maintenance, Rechargeable Battery
- Open Source Software with Arduino
- Board with connectors for extensions.

APP

- 60 descriptions of vegetables
- Localized weather forecasts
- Gardening Diary
- Garden Planner

EXPECTED RESULTS

Tomappo will become a cyber-physical CLEC system that can provide more accurate and personalized assistance to gardeners in caring for plants. Identifying conditions for pests and diseases before they spread. Agrumino will allow to continuously measure the soil moisture, temperature and brightness. Sensors are optimized for a low energy consumption and include a rechargeable battery charged through USB. System on chip with a Wifi and TCP-IP stack and programmable Flash.
