App Controlled Poinsettia Covering System

To create smart intuitive software that manages the life-cycles of poinsettias and other greenhouse processes.

Project Overview
SmartSettia is a poinsettia life-cycle management system that couples the flexibility of IoT devices with the power of the cloud. Control units can be securely installed or controlled anywhere in the world with an internet connection.

Background
A 2016 senior design team developed a poinsettia covering system for the University Greenhouse. The covering system uses a garage door opener motor that is controlled using an Arduino and based on GPS clock to close at night and open in the morning. The current system doesn't include a way to allow users to remotely manage the covering system. So now the 2017 senior design team SmartSettia is tasked with modernizing the system to allow for remote management.

Problem Statement
There is no feedback system for users of the Pointsettia Covering System to see if the system is working as the system is not internet connected.

Goal
Developing a internet based application that will:  Be web based Run on Windows, iOS, and Android User based access control Use an IP camera for video monitoring Include the ability to remotely control the pointsettia covering system 

2016 Poinsettia Covering System
Hardware we will be building upon.

Design
Mockups and Prototypes of the interface of SmartSettia are shown below, demonstrating the progression of the design.
