Intelligent IoT-based greenhouse monitoring and control system

Abstract

Greenhouse technology is a way to improve crop production. Technology has advanced swiftly in the fields of agriculture and food production and is still paving the way for the optimization and achievement of maximum plant growth. In the current age of Android smartphone applications, a precise mechanism would undoubtedly bring about change. The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the latest achievements in the field of information and communication technologies, providing global communication and control of sensors, devices, and users with information. This paper proposes a greenhouse monitoring and control system using IoT. The temperature sensor, air quality sensor, soil moisture sensor, Light Dependent Resistors (LDR) sensor, Liquid-Crystal Display (LCD) module, 12-volt Direct Current (DC) fan, electric bulb, water pump motor, and the servo motor with the Internet of Things (IoT) technology make up this greenhouse's monitoring and control system to measure nitrous oxide, temperature, humidity, illumination, CO2, and irrigation to create a plant-friendly atmosphere. The farmers may use the IoT platform to receive the collected environmental parameter data to their smartphones in online mode so they can make the correct decisions without visiting the field.
