To assist plant lovers & hobby gardeners, as well as greenhouse or garden keepers, Melon Green project is an open-source farm, garden and greenhouse automation controller system (hardware & software), which is aimed to be easy to use, affordable and multipurpose.
In summary, Melon Green is a board (based on AVR microprocessors) with an operating software, which gets your orders (settings), detects events in its environment, and toggles agricultural machinery (like irrigation pumps, solenoid valves, heaters, humidifiers, etc.) on or off, whenever it's needed.
Melon Green Keeps Date & Time, Senses Temperature, Humidity, Soil Moisture, Rain (Detection) & Room/Sun Light Intensity. It can operate irrigation system/facilities, grow light supplier, heater, fan/cooler and humidifier. Melon Green has also some experimental functionalities to mix feeding solution (e.g. diluting concentrated liquid fertilizer).
