Abstract:
In this research, 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, and
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.
