Zusammenfassung:A wireless plant sensor system transmits data in real time via a cloud. The system comprises a child sensor digitally and wirelessly connected to a parent sensor, the parent sensor relaying plant sensor data to the cloud, a processing unit, and a user interface that is digitally connected to the cloud. The child and parent sensors have microprocessors that provide control and management of sensor power with a power regulator circuit, which is electrically engaged to power harvesting components, that include a solar cell, a rf energy harvester, a rf antenna and rechargeable energy storage components. The input components to the sensor microprocessor including an accelerometer, temperature and humidity sensor, and an analog front end/LED driver that controls a plurality of LED light guides and emitters.
