Green House Monitoring and Automation using Wireless Sensor Network

Wireless sensor network (WSN) has a wide range of applications. WSN plays major role ad gains attention in recent years. Using WSNs it is able to monitor the environment where the human reach is not possible. WSNs are also gaining importance in agriculture area by controlling the climatic conditions of plant growth in green house. The paper explains about the design and implementation of WSNs for greenhouse to measure and control the climatic conditions of the plant growing environment. The developed system measures and controls the climatic parameters (temperature, humidity of air, sun light and soil moisture) and helps to improve the production in green house. Several numbers of sensors and actuators are installed and they are connected in the green house. Using Global System for Mobile communication (GSM) technology the climatic condition measurement information is sent to farmers mobile through Short Message Service (SMS). The system measures the climatic conditions using the sensors and the variations of the climate is controlled and monitored by using actuators. The proposed system is easy to implement and also cost effective.
