Maker Faire Lisbon 2023

Smart Garden using Seeed Studio WIO Terminal

Home: Cataluña, Espanha

It is a workshop sponsored by Seeed Studio for the educational community, and delivered by POWAR, in which we will show teachers the capabilities of the WIO Terminal, an IoT device designed by Seeed Studio, to carry out projects related to environmental sciences and the internet of things. The WIO terminal has a light sensor, accelerometer, microphone, buzzer and screen integrated into the device, in addition to the possibility of connecting to WiFi and LoRa network. On top of that, Seeed Studio's WIO terminal works with sensors and actuators that don't need complicated connections or advanced electronics skills, making them perfect for learning as you just need to plug them in and load the code to start using them. In the workshop we will first teach teachers how to use and program some of these sensors, and then we will teach them to integrate them to create an intelligent plant monitoring system that can give us information such as ambient temperature, amount of light, relative humidity and soil moisture, and also warn us when the plant needs to be watered. We will also have some other sensors of different types for teachers to try during the workshop if they want.
