Wirelessly Empowered Agriculture a Study on Arduino, NodeMCU and LoRaWAN Enabled Greenhouse Automation

Abstract

Greenhouse automation system is a way to benefit rural farmers through automatic monitoring and control of the greenhouse environment. It changes care directly to people. To ensure the safety of crops, temperature, light intensity, soil moisture and humidity must be monitored regularly and continuously to keep them under control. It prevents climate change and extends the growing season. Although greenhouses are beneficial for farmers as they increase crop yield and production, they are inconvenient for farmers as they have to visit and check the greenhouses regularly and if the weather conditions are not perfect, it damages crops and productivity. But the emergence of sensors and the Internet of Things has changed the situation in the greenhouse. Sensors are bringing automation to greenhouse management and monitoring through the use of the Internet of Things and embedded technologies.
