ABSTRACT
A greenhouse is an enclosed structure that provides micro-climate for the plant growth. This paper presents the design of a wireless sensor network that provides real-time monitoring of temperature, humidity and soil moisture of a greenhouse. An automated control system for managing these micro-climate parameters is developed to optimize the parameters and use of water. The sensor node developed handles the data from the sensors and triggers actuators based on the threshold algorithm programmed into the microcontroller. The gateway receives the sensor data and control information through Zigbee and transmits the data to the web application for remote monitoring. The monitor software provides network view with nodes and their information. Information management system is also designed to monitor the data at any required time.
