ECOHUB

Watering plants can often be forgotten when you have a busy schedule. There are multiple health benefits of having plants in homes such as reducing airborne dust levels and carbon dioxide.

This project involved designing a device with a chosen brand. The brand chosen was Dyson. The Ecohub takes inspiration from existing dyson products.

The Dyson Ecohub helps nurture and nourish a young plant sapling and mature into a tree/plant. The Ecohub helps to improve the health of the sapling by monitoring its growth and water levels. Once the sapling has established itself it can be transplanted into another more suitable location outside. The purpose of the Ecohub is to not only make sure plants and saplings flourish but it also supports a sustainable ecosystem.

A fully functional prototype was produced to demonstrate feasibility.
