TY - CHAP U1 - Konferenzveröffentlichung A1 - Mackensen, Elke A1 - Klose, Julius A1 - Rombach, Axel A1 - Spitznagel, Aaron T1 - Energy autonomous automation of Smart Home applications using the example of a wireless Indoor Smart Gardening system T2 - 2019 IEEE 15th International Conference on Automation Science and Engineering (CASE) N2 - Smart Home or Smart Building applications are a growing market. An increasing challenge is to design energy efficient Smart Home applications to achieve sustainable and green homes. Using the example of the development of an Indoor Smart Gardening system with wireless monitoring and automated watering this paper is discussing in particular the design issue of energy autonomous working sensors and actuators for home automation. Most important part of the presented Smart Gardening system is a 3D printed smart flower pot for single plants. The smart flower pot has integrated a water reservoir for automated plant irrigation and an electronic for monitoring important plant parameters and the water level of the water reservoir. Energy harvesting with solar cells enables energy autonomous working of the flower pot. A low-power wireless interface also integrated in the flowerpot and an external gateway based on a Raspberry Pi 3 enables wireless networking of multiple of those flower pots. The gateway is used for evaluating the plant parameters and as a user interface. Particularly the architecture of the energy autonomous wireless flower pot will be considered, because fully energy autonomous sensors and actuators for home automation could not be implemented without special concepts for the energy supply and the overall electronic.
