Aeri uses an ultrasonic atomiser as its misting mechanism, similar to that within off-the-shelf aroma diffusers in the market. Data is collected via water, pH and electric conductivity sensors linked to an Arduino board in the base of Aeri. The enclosed garden environment allows for efficient water consumption and is its structure is designed to allow for cleaning and repeated usage after each growing cycle.

Aeri empowers users to make informed data-driven decisions via a mobile app, and guides users towards learning by carrying out specific instructions such as when to refill nutrient solution. The smart system detects plants needs based on past nutrient intake and customises misting intervals to promote growth efficiency as plants enter different growth stages. Over time, users can review data insights to effectively optimise garden conditions with a reinforced understanding of how various environmental factors work.
