See the current moisture of the soil on my phone #71

Closed Circleview closed 8 years ago

Circleview commented 8 years ago

As Kirstin I want to see the current moisture of the plant soil on my phone so that I can ask somebody at home to water my plant if the soil is too dry.

AC By looking at my phone I can see when the soil of my plant is dry and I can ask somebody at home to water the plant for me.

UAT

I can always see the current moisture not only at specific times

Constraints

An internet connection is available to check the current moisture.
The performance of the current moisture measurement is not affected by this feature. We still need the full speed.
Don't expose the whole local network to the internet
The moisture is visible on the phone after calling it by Kirstin within 3 seconds max.

SP 2

[x] Calculate the current moisture analog input to a specific percentage value to be written to a database
[x] Insert the code to run the RedFly Shield to connect the Arduino to the Local wireless network
[x] Set up a database to continuously collect the last moisture value
[x] Write the current moisture to the database
[x] Write a tiny website to show the latest value of the database for the current moisture
[x] Write an app where you can show the website with this value (won't fix, currently this cannot be done with my current skill set)

[x] To be sure that the data transmission was successful catch the server response and evaluate the result
[x] Make sure that the connection to the WiFi is established properly so that it is fully reliable
[x] Update the Fritzing Sketch to match the current setup
[x] Design a new prefboard that fits better with the RedFly shield (won't fix, maybe later. the current one is good enough)
[x] Write a small debug statement that writes test data to the MySQL database instead of real moisture data to prevent testdata to be displayed on the website. Therefore only distinguish between Test and Banana when sending the data to the webserver. Currently we don't need to design a complete test-setup.

Current physical setup

[x] Adjust the moisture thresholds. Currently they seem to be a bit to high for a healthy plant

[x] Make the current index.php look just a little bit nicer. It is just to blank.
[x] add a favicon
[x] add an icon to show as webapp Icon on the iPhone
[x] center the moisture value
[x] add some color
[x] alter the font
