description: Piponics is a system that monitors and control aspects, such as pH, and water level of a small or medium scale hydroponics/aquaponic system. The Piponics system contains a Raspberry Pi component which would monitor the hydroponics/aquaponic system through various sensors and actuators. The Piponics system also comprises a companion mobile application where the user can access hydroponic/aquaponic systems tied to their account and can monitor and control the specific sensors and actuators on the corresponding hydroponic/aquaponic system. The goal of the Piponics system is to create an affordable hydroponics/aquaponics monitoring system for small scale growers and hobbyists which is in line with SEEDS goal of advancing the wellbeing of the environment and advancing food systems. The Piponics system is intended to be open source so that different sensors and actuators can easily be added to fit the need of any hydroponic/aquaponic system. The objective of creating this system was to address SEED’s goals of advancing the wellbeing of the environment, food systems, responsible consumption, and community inclusion. Piponics is an affordable and open-source system that was created to address these issues. With the Piponics system, small scale growers and hobbyists are empowered and enabled to grow affordable, local, and organic produce in the communities. The Piponics system would also provide educational and research benefits as the system is configurable and stores long term data of sensor measurements for future analysis. The planned use of the Piponics system is to be a part of any aquaponic installations on UBC campus which would serve to provide affordable, local, and organic produce to the community members on campus. This project stands out from other aquaponic monitoring and control systems due to its low cost, high quality documentation, expandability for future work, and open-source code and design. The Piponics system has two main components; the hardware syste…
