Smart Agriculture in the Digital Age: A Comprehensive IoT-Driven Greenhouse Monitoring System

Abstract

The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies in agriculture has emerged as a transformative force, revolutionizing traditional farming practices and driving efficiency and sustainability. This paper presents the development and implementation of a cost-effective greenhouse monitoring system utilizing LoRaWAN technology for data communication. The system’s design, deployment, and performance are discussed in detail. Key components include an array of sensors for monitoring environmental parameters and LoRaWAN for long-range, low-power communication. The low-cost nature of the system challenges the notion that advanced agricultural technology is prohibitively expensive, making it accessible to farmers of varying scales. The system’s affordability and realtime data accessibility make it a valuable tool for precision agriculture, contributing to improved crop yields and resource management.
