Private project

Plant Pi

Raspberry Pi and sensor data platform for plant monitoring

Plant Pi groups private experiments around plants, sensors and local automation. The core is a small Raspberry Pi/sensor platform that collects measurements, processes them locally and makes them usable for monitoring or automation.

Overview

The project is less a polished app and more a hands-on backend/IoT learning field: sensor clients, Python services, MQTT, local configuration, Docker deployment and simple persistence need to work reliably on constrained hardware. It highlights system design, data flows and reliable operation on small hardware.

Engineering highlights

Python services for Raspberry Pi and sensor clients

Measurements for temperature, humidity, light or soil moisture as event/data flows

MQTT and local service communication for small automation scenarios

Docker and system-service setup for operation on constrained hardware
