Observation of greenhouse condition based on wireless sensor networks

Abstract

Along with increasing years, meeting food needs in Indonesia continues to experience improvements. This is because it is not balanced between the rate of population growth and the amount of food production. In order to help increase food production and improve the quality of food, modern technology in agriculture is needed, one of which is a greenhouse. Most greenhouses still use manual watering systems that have not been supported by technology that utilizes an automatic watering system and is accompanied by a monitoring system, temperature and humidity control and greenhouse soil moisture using wireless sensor network communications. By spreading 6 nodes at each point and each node equipped with 3 sensors, it is expected that the greenhouse monitoring and control process will be more thorough. The results of temperature testing at the greenhouse before using the wireless sensor network and after being implemented have increased by 23%. This also applies to the value of air humidity has increased by 4% and soil moisture by 1.20%.
