Revolutionizing the Future of Hydroponics
The Agro-Q mobile app has a wide variety of features that allow users to maintain their hydroponics system. Users can view sensor data of pH, water temperature, CO2, atmospheric temperature, and light intensity, via the app, and analyze the plant growth. The Agro-Q app allows collaboration among the user by sharing their specific hydroponics setups through the google maps in the app.

Screens Descriptions:
Once the data is collected from the sensors, the data is sent to the Raspberry Pi using a serial connection. Using the Raspberry Pi’s internet connection, the data is then sent to the Firebase Cloud Server to be stored in a non-sql database. The data is then read from the database and displayed in the Agro-Q app for users to monitor their hydroponics system.
Agro-Q uses React Native . First, install the React Native CLI using the instructions at https://reactnative.dev/docs/environment-setup. Select the “React Native CLI Quickstart” option and your desired platforms and complete the installation with the instructions provided.
