Circular Economy: Integrated Design of Fish Tank- Flower Nursery

Abstract

The internet of Everything has come into reality. Smart home has entered our life and changed our life style. Using traditional methods, consumption of time and labour needs to be considered for family breeding and conservation. Based on analysis and research on the application status of household flower nursery and aquarium equipment, an integration fish tank-flower nursery ecosystem was designed. An interaction between aquarium automatic water exchange maintenance and automatic watering system of flowers and plants can be designed via several techniques, where contains single-chip computer technology, open source Arduino technology and multi-sensor fusion technology. Furthermore, the goal of recycling of water can be fulfilled by using the rich water of fish culture to water flowers. Experiments show that the integrated ecosystem can replace the traditional manual maintenance, save resources and bring people a better home experience.
