AUTOMATION OF GREENHOUSE USING IOT

A greenhouse is generally a building of small or large structures. It is made up of walls and a clear roof that can maintain a planned climate control environment. It provides plant growth that requires constant levels of soil moisture, sunlight, humidity, and temperature. The available greenhouse system is a human-supervised system with continuous human visits that afflicts workers and reduces yields if temperature and humidity are not properly and regularly maintained. This paves the way for the concept of greenhouse automation. Greenhouse automation, formed by the Internet of Things and the incorporation of embedded systems, addresses the problems facing greenhouses, provides automatic control and monitoring of the greenhouse environment, and replaces the tireless management of farmers. This paper also proposes the automation using the internet of things in the greenhouse environment by using the ESP32 and employing the sensors to sense the moisture, temperature, sunlight, and humidity to enhance the production rate and minimize the discomfort caused to the farmers.
