In recent years, the information system has laid a profound foundation in agriculture with greenhouse development, leading to accelerated growth. The green infrastructure thus built is easily accessible remotely using the intelligent system of Internet of Things (IoT). In this proposed work, an IoT-based environment is designed, developed, and implemented with sensors which are connected to the laptop/computer or a mobile phone with Internet. Further to save electricity, a separate control unit is built which provides the devices an energy efficient way of functioning. Thus, information regarding growth of the plants, moisture content in the soil, energy consumed by each smart appliances in the farm, etc., is collected using data acquisition. The data thus gathered is then segregated depending on the applications and sent to the Firebase cloud. To monitor the environmental parameters within the greenhouse, we have used a cloud-based data collection mechanism. Interfacing the dashboard with the cloud platform, it is possible to analyze the power consumed by the system using the data present. When a discontinuity occurs with data missing for about an hour, the missing data is filled with the help of previous data automatically. The maximum temperature within the greenhouse is set as 28°C, and the soil moisture content threshold is set between 50% and 80%. An artificial environment is thus created to improve the crop yield per square meter on continuous monitoring of climatic parameters resulting in an optimal environment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
