The Autonomous Modular Home Gardening System (AMHGS) is a novel, fully integrated solution designed to address the challenges of urban agriculture by combining real-time monitoring, automated resource management, and scalable modularity. In the face of escalating water scarcity and spatial constraints, AMHGS employs a network of high-resolution cameras and environmental sensors to continuously assess soil moisture, nutrient concentration (pH and electrical conductivity), and plant health indicators. A central control unit processes these data via advanced image-processing and control algorithms, leveraging OpenCV and closed-loop feedback, to actuate peristaltic pumps and solenoid valves that precisely deliver water and nutrient solutions. Complementing this, a tri-spectrum LED array (red, blue, and full-spectrum white) adapts lighting conditions to optimize photosynthesis across diverse plant species. The system’s vertically stackable design maximizes space efficiency, while a continuous, slow-flow recirculation mechanism prevents stagnation and conserves resources. Seamless IoT connectivity to a smartphone application enables remote monitoring, user notifications for water/nutrient levels, and access to historical performance analytics. Computer and mathematical modelling has demonstrated sensor accuracies within ±5 percent and biomass increases up to 20 percent under optimized lighting. The project’s phased approach, with concept development, prototyping, pilot testing, and final deployment, ensures rigorous validation and user-centered refinement. By uniting automated disease detection, precise dosing, and adaptive lighting in one cohesive platform, AMHGS represents a significant advancement in sustainable, smart home gardening, offering substantial environmental, economic, and social benefits for urban dwellers.
