Remote monitoring and control system of physical variables of a greenhouse through a 1-wire network

Abstract

In this project a design and implementacion of a platform (hardware-software) for control and monitoring, using Internet, the physical variables of a greenhouse such as temperature and luminosity was made; for this a new type of microcontroller, TINI (Tiny InterNet Interfaces) was used, which can be used as a small server with additional advantages as being able to program it with JAVA language and to support a lot of communication protocols, like 1-wire protocol. Due to the form the platform was designed and implemented, this technology could be incorporated with very low cost in the PYMES (Small and Medium Companies) dedicated, for example to the production of flowers. An additional value of the platform is its adaptability in other applications like for example, laboratories, monitoring and control of manufactures, monitoring systems, among others. © 2006 Springer.
