Operating System for Controlled Environment Agriculture

cea-os's Issues

Set up Network Actuator Library

Actuators

Create Logger interface

Splitting from #7

Connect Atlas Sensor to Dashboard

Write test cases

Writing test cases for all objects

Set up build system

Set up containerized build of system that builds a docker container for this repo.

Create Analytic Abstraction

This aims to create objects that latch onto sensors, and produce analyses of the information read by the sensor. Requires changing the sensor interface, and creating a new Analytic object type. These objects will have an analyze method that requires implementation.

Build initial dashboard

Depends on #5

Read Grow Recipes

Create testing infrastructure

Camera Image Workflow

Create a workflow for image processing

Create artificial sensor

The artificial sensor should implement the sensor definition here: /cea-os/sensors/sensor_definition.py. It should allow the user to set the output value of the sensor, and add some random noise.

Grafana persistence

Let's configure grafana with bind mounts or some solution that allows people who clone and run this repo to see a quality dashboard from the jump!

Create skeletons for environments

Need to create skeleton objects for environments.

Proposed skeleton:

Object:
sensors:{list of tuples ('name',Sensor Object)}

Fix sensors in config.yaml to include name

Write WeMo actuator

Write actuator interface for WeMo smart plugs.

Write config file for lettuce grow recipe

Create a YAML file that defines environmental parameters depending on growth stage.

Creating an API interface

In order to facilitate communication between Grafana or other automated actors and CEA-OS, it would be beneficial to have a REST API to deal with commands given to actuators in CEA-OS, or even data input into CEA-OS

Create InfluxDB Logger

Create a logger implementation extending #10 to implement logging to InfluxDB. Depends on #4.

Fix location tag to include entire farm object hierarchy

Create Actuator Driver for Peristaltic Pumps

Add Grafana to build system

Depends on #4

Add InfluxDB to build system

Depends on #3

Encode images for InfluxDB storage

I'll work on encoding images captured by our cameras to base64 (plaintext string format). We can send this text string to InfluxDB through our logger interface.

My plan is to create a module with an image class (unless there's an existing script I should directly add this to). The class would have a member variable for the filename of the image, as well as member functions to encode and decode the image data.

Is this on the right path? Then I think the next issue would be to display these images on Grafana.

Autogrowers

Implement different types of autogrowers which have different control algorithms.
