The intelligent and networked solution for commercial lawn mower management is presented by this innovation. It makes effective operation, monitoring, and remote control possible by fusing cloud and IoT technologies, which improves commercial lawn care procedures. Using a variety of integrated components, the invention creates a complex Internet of Things-controlled system designed especially for commercial lawn care management of lawn mulching mowers. Let us examine the primary features of this novel system. The RCSL_MMCLNode, which has key hardware components, is at the center of this innovation. The internet access is ensured via the ESP32 WiFi board, which functions as the central processing unit. In places where WiFi coverage is spotty, the GSM modem makes communication possible and guarantees a stable connection. The lawn mower's on and off operations are managed by a relay module, which is supplemented by an LED indication and buzzer that provide both visible and auditory cues. A dedicated keypad offers a local interface for manual control, and a power source guarantees continuous functioning.
In order for the lawn mower system to be a part of the Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem, the ESP32 WiFi board is essential to getting the RCSL_MMCLNode online. With the ability to send and receive data via the internet, this connectivity allows for remote control and monitoring of the device. The foundation for a more extensive and networked lawn care system is laid by the IoT integration, which enables smooth collaboration with various tools and systems. Cloud-based technology is also incorporated into the invention to improve control and user experience. With the help of the Cloud Mobile App Dashboard, operators and authorized people can remotely operate the lawnmower and change its status from a distance thanks to a customized user interface that is accessible via the internet. By increasing the possibilities for sophisticated features like scheduling, real-time monitoring, and data analytics, cloud integration improves lawn care management as a whole.
Practically speaking, an operator or authorized user can use the RCSL_MMCLNode's customized keypad for close-quarters manual control. The interface for remote control is the Cloud Mobile App Dashboard, which lets users communicate with the lawnmower via the cloud. The ESP32 processes commands sent by the app, causing the necessary actions to be triggered through the relay module to control the lawnmower's status. The buzzer and LED indicator give feedback, enhancing the user experience overall and verifying that commands are being carried out.
