Pi 5 Automated Greenhouse Controller
Build a Self-Regulating Greenhouse with Raspberry Pi 5 – Automated Irrigation & AI-Powered Growth Tracking
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Transform any greenhouse or indoor garden into a self-regulating ecosystem. The Raspberry Pi 5 captures daily images to monitor plant growth rates using computer vision, while soil moisture and environmental sensors automatically trigger irrigation and lighting. You’ll build a complete edge AI system that demonstrates real-world IoT automation and data logging.
What You'll Build
A fully functional automated greenhouse controller that captures daily time-lapse plant images, waters plants when soil moisture drops, controls lights based on schedule or ambient conditions, and stores all data and images on the high-speed NVMe SSD. The system runs entirely on the edge, no cloud dependency.
What You'll Learn
- Design and deploy a computer vision pipeline for plant health monitoring
- Interface multiple sensors (soil moisture, DHT22) with Raspberry Pi 5 GPIO
- Control high-power irrigation pumps and grow lights using relays safely
- Store and manage large image datasets on NVMe SSD via Pi 5 M.2 HAT+

Who This Kit Is For
This kit is tailored for CBSE Class 11-12 students exploring AI in agriculture, B.Tech ECE/EEE students building Smart India Hackathon prototypes, and mentors at ATL Tinkering Labs introducing edge computing. Advanced hobbyists at IIT, NIT, or VIT will appreciate the hands-on computer vision aspect.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Scan the QR code on the box to access the AI companion trained for this kit; it provides step-by-step guidance. You can also reach us on WhatsApp for additional help.
Can I view the plant images remotely from my phone?
Yes, the build leads you to set up a simple web dashboard that serves images and sensor logs within your local network, accessible via any browser.
Is the greenhouse controller weatherproof for outdoor use?
The components are not weatherproof; we recommend housing the controller in a protective enclosure and extending sensor cables to the greenhouse. The kit itself is for indoor or sheltered setups.
Do I need prior experience with computer vision?
The AI companion guides you through every step, from setting up OpenCV to training a simple growth-tracking script, making it suitable for those with basic Python skills.
Computer vision monitors plant growth rate from daily images while sensors control irrigation and lighting automatically.
