This project creates an automated egg incubation device. The system will include a database that allows for the user to select the species of the egg which will then load the hatch time, optimum temperature and humidity, and how often to turn the eggs. The device will constantly read the environment of the egg incubator to regulate the environment based on the settings. The default settings can be changed on the physical unit itself or using a web interface. The device will send either a SMS or an email to the user to notify about problems, errors, or events. The web interface will also:
- Allow the owner can to share the process with others
- List the five most recent alerts
- Display a graph of data from the past 24 hours
- Display a graph of data from the egg incubation inception
The egg incubator will also have a few failsafe protocols that are in place that should prevent data loss or protect the project from power loss. This device is a way to show a proof of concept of an environment management system that could be used to create systems for similar tasks like hydroponics or a fish tank.
