A Smart Automated Greenhouse: Soil Moisture, Temperature Monitoring and Automatic Water Supply System (Peaty, Loam and Silty)

An encircled building is a greenhouse that offers plant growth with a microclimate. This article introduces the design of a wireless sensor network to monitor temperature, moisture, and soil humidity of a greenhouse in real time. To optimize the parameters and use of water, an automated control system is built for handling these microclimate parameters. The advanced sensor node handles the sensor information and causes the actuators based on the programmed microcontroller's (Arduino-based) with a threshold algorithm. The gateway gets data from the sensor and controls data via Blink and sends the data to the remote monitoring Web application. Moreover, this proposed work is simulated by thinker CAD software for initial analyzation of the soil moisture level, temperature, humidity, and light intensity. The controller's codes have been written in the programming language Arduino, debugs, compiled and uploaded into the microcontroller using Arduino's IDE. The system was constructed and tested for a scaled-down prototype. Greenhouse automation provides effective microclimatic parameter acquisition and controls. The work engaged in maintaining it also considerably decreases, making it beneficial for rural farmers, gardeners, and agriculture researchers.
