Greenhouse Farm Monitoring is Automated with Smart Controls

Abstract

In the modern day, greenhouses have emerged as a well-liked option for sustainable agriculture due to the growing worry about climate change and the rising demand for food production. Because of the growing concern about climate change and the increased demand for food production, greenhouses are becoming a preferred approach for sustainable agriculture. To get around these problems, clever control systems using Arduino microcontrollers have been developed to automatically monitor and regulate the ambient conditions within the greenhouse. Before a problem arises, intelligent control systems can identify and mitigate possible hazards. A more ecologically friendly and productive approach to farming may be achieved via the use of sophisticated management systems in greenhouses. The major objective of the project is to build greenhouses that provide a suitable environment with a high production capacity, protect endangered plants, and conserve peoples time and energy. We ll use the Arduino to help us automate this process. The Arduino is a device that has outputs that are used in greenhouses and inputs (sensors) that can be programmed in C++ on a computer. The tools and materials we utilize for the project are an Arduino, a fan, a spray can, a humidity sensor, a lighting sensor, and a temperature sensor. The temperature sensor in our project is utilized to measure temperature. It will send a sensor to Arduino when the temperature rises or falls. To maintain a temperature that is comfortable for the plants, the fan or air conditioner is switched on. When there is insufficient light, the light sensor sends a signal to the Arduino to switch on the lights. It measures the moisture content of the soil. It will be transmitted to Arduino if the soil needs water. Through a DC motor, water flows. In order to provide an appropriate climate for plants without a human to take care of them, a smart control of greenhouse utilizing Arduino is used.
