# Rust powered smart greenhouse

Welcome to my garden

![PXL_20220814_160500784](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/5330444/186767362-6dc36764-0c2c-4a36-ad5f-08f5b823fe2c.jpg)

## Project structure

This project is split into two pieces as our greenhouse is a good distance

from our house: 

- Transmitter: This is an Adafruit radiofeather (LoRa) microcontroller.

  Connected to it are moisture sensors, a temperature/ humidity/ pressure sensor,

  and a relay which turns on and off a pump.

  Sensor readings are taken periodically and transmitted over LoRa to the 

  base station (RPI). Immediately after transmitting a message the LoRa 

  radio will enter RX mode and listen for a message from the base station.

- Receiver/ Base Station: This is a Raspberry Pi with a LoRa hat.

  It continuously listens for messages from the transmitter and

  stores sensor readings in a influxdb database.

  It also hosts a control panel for turning on and off the pump.

  Messages to send to the greenhouse device are queued and transmitted after

  a message is received.
