Greenhouse Wireless Monitoring and Control System Based on Sensor Network

ABSTRACT

In this thesis, an embedded system which is closely monitored and controlled the

climate parameters such as humidity, temperature, and light of a greenhouses

based on wireless sensor network on a regular basis round the clock for

cultivation of crops or specific plant species which could maximize their

production was presented. The designed system comprises beside the sensors

from microcontroller, monitor, wireless communication based on XBee and

respondents such as fan, heater and pump. This a low cost and flexible system

can be empowered by a reliable management scenario in order to maintain the

greenhouses environmental conditions. The designed system shows the

importance of using the wireless sensor network in such application, where the

installation, power and running cost were minimized. The obtained results show

a good management performance to the greenhouse environment where the

wireless sensor network can be utilized to form a network from several greenhouses.
