Project Background  Problem: Temperature flucuations inside a greenhouse that utilizes bubble insulation technology when the weather is changing to maintain the life of different plans  This also is manually controlled so, no consistent monitoring is taking place and the bubbles must be turned on when the weather changes

Project Background  Solution: To implement temperature sensors so that this information can be grabbed and automatically relayed to a database for consistent monitoring and automate when the bubble insulation technology must take place above or below specified temperatures to remove manual control

Project Background  How: This is done through Arduino Boards, a pump, Python Scripts, and a web server utilizing various server services which run to effectively grab the information

Accomplishments  Functional mesh network between the Arduino Boards  Successful installation and configuration of the Arduino Software and other server services  Scripts that successfully logged the temperature  Communication established between fluctuations in temperature for what the sensors read  All necessary information logged and recorded  System successfully installed in greenhouse

Lessons Learned  Arduino Boards and software  Ubuntu configuration (scripts, commands, installations)  Python Scripting techniques  Arduino codes, rates, and matching Python Scripts  Trial and Error with scripts  Troubleshoot

Budget  Projected Budget:  Hardware/Software - $  Operating Costs - $35,  Total - $36,326.15

Budget  Actual Budget:  Hardware/Software - $  Operating Costs - $18,  Total - $19,621.00

Conclusion  Solved the problem of automating insulation in a greenhouse  Fixed the issue of monitoring and logging the information  Various installations, troubleshooting, and problem solving encountered  Cost effective project for prospective groups to expand upon
