Abstract

The paper proposes an embedded system to monitor and control the environmental parameters inside a greenhouse. The parameters include temperature, humidity, CO2 concentration and light intensity. The control actions can be water spray, fog spray, LEDs etc. The sensor nodes form a Wireless Sensor Network. The primary node in the network will send the values to the user PC via GSM module. It accepts the command from PC and transfer in the network. Then the microcontrollers in each node will control the parameters using relays. Each node has to monitor the parameters in a specific area.
