On account of the low degree of automation in a rabbit farm, this paper proposes a rabbit farm environmental monitoring system based on internet of things. First, this paper designs a rabbit farm environmental monitoring system according to the three-tier architecture of the internet of things. Then it chooses a wireless transmission module as required by the system in addition to the proposal of a new gateway initialization flow for the internet of things. After that, it analyzes the flow to query the farm monitoring data and the flow of reverse control on the environmental parameters to verify finally the feasibility of the system through the experiment.
