Greenhouse Monitoring System Based on Internet of Things

Abstract

In the recent times, IoT is playing a major role in the development of agriculture. Due to the enormous growth of IoT, smart farming is becoming an emerging concept as IoT is capable enough to provide information about the agriculture fields. This work focuses on greenhouses which can be used in growing plants under certain circumstances. Such plant life can be monitored on a regular basis so as to increase the yield with high quality and quantity. This paper aims to provide farmers with an IoT-based Web application for monitoring the agriculture fields and its conditions. With the arrival of open supply Arduino Uno boards beside low-cost wet sensors, it is feasible to make devices that monitor various sensors like temperature/humidity sensor, soil moisture sensor, ultrasonic sensor, PIR sensor, pressure sensor, and light level sensor for consequently irrigating the fields when required.
