IoT Technology for Monitoring and Control of Smart Greenhouses

Abstract

A greenhouse is a covered structured area which protect the plants from extreme weather condition, providing a controlled environment for their growth and cultivation. The innovative Internet of Things (IoT) technology uses a series of sensors connected to a central computer to control the greenhouse environment. Greenhouse sensor systems include elements that monitor and control temperature, humidity, soil moisture, lighting, and external weather conditions. The research aims to design a greenhouse monitoring and control system based on the Internet of Things (IoT). In smart greenhouses, IoT involves sensors, devices, and information and communication infrastructure for real-time monitoring, data collection, and processing to control the environment inside the greenhouse unit. Controlled greenhouses, supported by computer technology, can enhance quality and increase crop yields. This research involves three greenhouses that are independently monitored and controlled through an Internet of Things (IoT) cloud platform. Cloud monitoring facilitates better integration of devices across different geographical locations.
