Multi-span greenhouses controller based on GSM monitoring
Main Article Content
Abstract
This report provides design, implementation, and testing of a PCB control board for managing multi-span greenhouses in a real-world setting. The board integrates many actuators and sensors to monitor and control the microclimates. It measures various environmental values, including temperature, moisture, and illumination. Using these values acquired, the system automatically regulates essential requested microclimate, like lighting, roof operation and air extraction, to optimize the inside environment. An LCD presents the gathered information for real-time monitoring. Moreover, the PCB accommodates multiple communication protocols, facilitating remote control via GSM and wireless connection with Xbee modules. This adaptable technology improves greenhouse automation and enables effective remote monitoring and administration.
