GREENWISE
Grow microgreens at home, then use Raspberry Pi sensors to understand their growing conditions.
An EU-funded project
Grow with data
GREENWISE provides tools and resources for growing microgreens and other plants in a controlled environment.
Connect a Raspberry Pi, an Automation HAT Mini and sensors to collect readings such as temperature and soil moisture. View the data on graphs to help adjust your growing conditions.
Illustrated growing guide
How to grow microgreens
Follow eight steps from choosing seeds and preparing trays to caring for seedlings, harvesting and storing your microgreens.
Monitor your microgreens
Build your monitoring setup with guides to accounts, hardware, Raspberry Pi configuration and sending sensor data.
-
Set up your account
Create an account, generate API credentials and prepare a graph for your sensor readings.
-
Choose your hardware
Check the Raspberry Pi, sensors, power supply and accessories you need.
-
Install Raspberry Pi OS
Flash the operating system and complete the initial setup.
-
Connect to Wi-Fi
Configure a wireless connection when using Raspberry Pi OS Lite.
-
Read soil moisture
Connect a capacitive sensor to an Automation HAT Mini and take readings.
-
Log sensor data
Send readings through the API and display them on a graph.
-
Upload readings in bulk
Upload several data points together using the bulk API endpoint.
