The Open Source Smart Greenhouse: real-time monitoring for a smarter harvest.

A greenhouse is a machine for controlling a climate, and a climate is just data you have not measured yet. This one measures it.

Sensors watch temperature, humidity, soil moisture, and light around the clock. An Arduino MKR1010 gathers the readings, Arduino IoT Cloud stores them, and Google Data Studio turns the stream into dashboards a grower can actually read at a glance. The point was never to collect numbers. It was to surface the handful of trends that change how things grow, using off-the-shelf, open parts anyone can buy and adapt.

The full build is documented in the open, so you can follow along, fork the ideas, and grow your own.
