Abstract :
[en] Phytotron also called growth chambers are research installations where environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity, irrigation, conductivity, lighting, and CO2 are finely controlled. This kind of installation allows us on one hand to measure the impact of environment change and on the other hand to optimize the natural grow of plants. With the democratization of the materials, cloud computing and new possibilities offered by Internet of Things (IoT). Therefore, it is possible to develop a low-cost personal phytotron. In this paper, we propose to use connected things to develop a personal growth chamber with the aim to produce fresh vegetable in urban context.
