KOHS
Personal Automated Hydroponic Smart Farming System
Teknofest 4th place
Project Summary
KOHS is a soilless vertical farming unit designed for personal use inside living spaces, controlled through a cloud-based application, that autonomously provides the right environment for the selected plant. It aims to maximise yield and shorten growing time; through the mobile app the growing conditions are revised automatically and users can easily monitor their system.
How It Works
The system uses a Raspberry Pi and an Arduino Mega. The Raspberry Pi handles data processing and database management in Python, while the Arduino Mega reads the sensors (pH, EC, temperature, humidity) and controls operations such as irrigation and heating. The Flutter mobile app lets the user monitor and manage the system remotely.
