Abstract
Super Green OS is an open-source Internet of Things (IoT) project. 🧠 SuperGreenOS home farming automation software for esp32, all in one package, and controllable from your smartphone, pc, mac, linux, toaster, plumbus, whatnot. SuperGreenOS provides most features used when growing cannabis, all in one package, and controllable from your smartphone, pc, mac, linux, toaster, plumbus, whatnot... It is built using C, ESP32, MQTT. Key capabilities include: Lights on and off schedules; Up to 6 separate led channels (you can put multiple leds behind one channel); Up to 3 separate timers, for full-cycle setups (veg + flo). The complete source code is publicly available on GitHub under the GNU General Public License v3.0, making it a useful reference for students building an Internet of Things (IoT) mini project or final-year project.
1. Introduction
SuperGreenOS provides most features used when growing cannabis, all in one package, and controllable from your smartphone, pc, mac, linux, toaster, plumbus, whatnot...
This document is for developpers that want to start playing with there controller's internal stuffs, or just setup their own hardware. This repository is based on SuperGreenOSBoilerplate, please read the doc here first.
It is the official firmware for the SuperGreenController.
2. Objective
🧠 SuperGreenOS home farming automation software for esp32, all in one package, and controllable from your smartphone, pc, mac, linux, toaster, plumbus, whatnot...
This project demonstrates how C, ESP32, MQTT can be applied to a real-world Internet of Things (IoT) problem.
3. Key Features / Modules
- Lights on and off schedules
- Up to 6 separate led channels (you can put multiple leds behind one channel)
- Up to 3 separate timers, for full-cycle setups (veg + flo)
- Monitoring a wide range of sensors
- Data sent to a MQTT server
- Produce alerts based on sensor values
- Allows remote control
- Manual ventilation control
- Automatic ventilation control based on temperature and humidity
- Stretch mode, allows to choose how much you want your plant to stretch or thicken
4. Technology Stack
5. System Requirements
General requirements for this technology stack — check the README for exact versions.
- Arduino IDE / PlatformIO or a C compiler (gcc)
- Target board where applicable
- Git (to clone the repository)
6. Installation & Setup
git clone https://github.com/supergreenlab/SuperGreenOS.git
cd SuperGreenOSFull setup instructions are in the project README.
7. Future Enhancements
Suggested extensions you can add to make this your own project.
- Add a mobile dashboard using Blynk or Firebase
- Store readings in a cloud database for history charts
- Add alerts via SMS / Telegram when thresholds are crossed
8. Viva / Review Questions
Common questions examiners ask for projects in this domain.
- Which microcontroller / board and sensors are used and why?
- How does the device send data (Wi-Fi, MQTT, HTTP, Bluetooth)?
- Where is the sensor data stored and visualised?
- How is power consumption managed?
- How would you secure the device and its communication?
