Design Highlights:

  • 500+ lines of code in both C++ and Python to drive system functionality.
  • Breathable, drainable venting design with cable gland for wiring.
  • API integration for Tempest data communication.
  • IoT dashboard for control and data visualizations.

Outcome:

Successfully deployed a robust, IoT-enabled watering system that operated reliably throughout an entire season with no signs of internal or external wear, significantly improving garden maintenance efficiency through automated controls and real-time monitoring.
