Abstract

Living in a threat of global warming, the effort to make the world a little bit greener is what we all want. Automation of nursery system can make people more encouraged to contribute in making a greener earth. With the advancement of the technologies unmanned or less man controlled nursery system has become very popular. This paper presents an embedded secured smart nursery system that provides automated watering and drainage system, automated light control and supply system for photo-periodic plants and automated light system sensing the light intensity of garden. The design of this system was implemented in an academic environment using soil moisture sensor, LDR sensor and mobile application. The proposed system is easier to set up, cost-effective, fully automatic and has easy maintenance.
