Wireless Sensor Network: Smart greenhouse prototype with smart design

Abstract

Wireless Sensor Technologies (WST) is entering a new phase. Recent advances offer vast opportunities for research and development. This is the consequence of the decreasing costs of ownership, the engineering of increasingly smaller sensing devices and the achievements in radio frequency technology and digital circuits. The aim of this research was to combine the Wireless Sensor Network with ZigBee technology. It has been implemented in Greenhouse prototype to control the temperature and humidity via remote automation. In addition, a GUI interface is built for easier control and manage through computer via wired and wireless technology. This Greenhouse prototype was successfully developed and tested with operational via remote automation. © 2016 IEEE.
