Green wall is a vertical structure that has different types of plants or other greenery attached to it.
In our project we created a controller for the above, to monitor environmental element such as temperature and humidity, and control others such as lights and irrigation system.
Additionally, we made a website which helps the user keep track of his green wall.
Green walls have become a rising new trend of built environments in recent years. Incorporating living nature into urban environments not only looks much more inviting, but also has a number of other benefits and purposes.
Green walls are vertical structures that have different types of plants or other greenery attached to them. The greenery is often planted in a growth medium consisting of soil, stone, or water. Because the walls have living plants in them, they usually feature built-in irrigation systems.
Living walls can make us happier and more productive, as they appeal to our innate need to be around nature. Bringing in natural elements to places where they can’t generally be seen lifts our mood, making us more alert and upbeat.
The project’s major goal is to create a controller system of the wall, mixing hardware and software, it will enable the user being updated on the wall situation. All he has to do, is to enter the Green Wall website in order to check if the different parameters of the room are favorable to the plants.
Those parameters are: Temperature, light, humidity, irrigation.
In this project we will use an ESP32 and different sensors to realize the mentioned needs. The ESP32 and the sensors will be located next to the wall.
The ESP32 wirelessly transmits all the data received from the sensors on the wall to the website.
All this process is transparent for the user that only sees the current Green Wall situation on the website and can control his parameters.
