INTELLIGENT BASED GREENHOUSE PLANTATION MONITORING AND CONTROLLING USING GSM

Abstract

In this project, an embedded system which is closely monitored and controlled the climate parameters such as temperature, humidity, light and moisture in the soil of a greenhouse based on wireless sensor network on a regular basis around the clock for growth of vegetables or specific plant species which maximize their production was presented. These parameters are monitored and display on an LCD. The microcontroller used in this project is Arduino UNO with atmega328 IC attached on it. Arduino is the heart of this project because it can communicate between the sensors and the load. The greenhouse monitoring and controlling project can be done by using wireless technologies. It is a closed loop system, once the temperature and humidity fall or rises above the certain specified range, then an action control the temperature and humidity using relays interface and maintain the functionality of the greenhouse, so no plant is damaged inside the greenhouse. These relays can be attached to fan, a light bulb and sprinkler etc. and at the same time these values of all the parameters transmitted through messages using the GSM module. The GSM module can receive the greenhouse parameters and then convey the data using wireless communication. The designed system shows the importance of using the wireless sensor network in such application, where the installation, power and running cost can be minimized
