Weather monitoring and control system for polyhouses using IoT

Abstract

Polyhouse is a way of growing plants in a controlled environment to increase agricultural yield and quality. The atmosphere of the polyhouse, like temperature and humidity, must be proper for crop development and growth. Polyhouse parameter control and monitoring are critical to the plant's overall development. Polyhouse automation system is a technology technique that provides automatic monitoring and control of the polyhouse environment to farmers in rural locations. It takes the place of direct human monitoring. Soil nutrient factors are equally crucial in greenhouses for healthy plant growth. It does not make use of rain water when it showers, resulting in the stored water wastage. The important source of light for photosynthesis is sunlight, however the intensity of sunlight is not measured. This approach also includes monitoring environmental factors and executing control actions over the internet. For the poly house, this weather monitoring system is able to monitor and control elements of environment such as humidity and temperature. This research focuses on several climatic characteristics that may be monitored and regulated using the Internet of Things (IoT) in order to increase crop output.
