Abstract:
The greenhouse environmental conditions change continuously, for this reason we need an efficient monitoring. There are a lot of benefits of using an automatic system, for example less work or most important the users can check their own investments from their house by PC or smartphone. Another important advantage is the possibility to store data into a Database. This can make the difference between gaining or losing money. Furthermore, thanks to a real-time system control we can intervene immediately, preventing problems for cultivation. This paper proposes a design for greenhouse automation system using ready-to-use, cost effective and energy efficient devices including raspberry pi, Arduino microcontrollers and different kinds of sensors which are used to measure greenhouses’ temperature, humidity and soil moisture. Measurement data have been shared with the help of IOT. With this system farmer can control their greenhouse from their mobile phones or computers which have internet connection. The commands from the user are processed at raspberry pi using python programming language.
