Design and Development of IoT-Based Smart Health Monitoring System for Greenhouse Cultivation

Greenhouse farming is a concept that claims to provide a substantial amount of assets for a specific period of time which helps to improve the yields of fruits, vegetables, crops, etc. Combination of smart farming and Internet of Things (IoT) will reduce the wastage, improve the efficiency, and make better use of resources such as water, fertilizer, light, gas, and pesticides in agriculture. This plan intelligently monitors and controls the environment, by eliminating the need for manual intervention. To enhance the continuous monitoring and quality of greenhouse cultivation the proposed work has employed the advantages of IoT. The main concept is to record all the required parameters from the agricultural sector from the required sensors. These agricultural sensors parameters are soil moisture, temperature, relative humidity, light, sound, and image. In greenhouse cultivation sensing methods are very useful to provide the information for plant growth and health indicators. This work helps to integrate many sensors connected to microcomputers rather than microcontrollers. It can be done better and faster with the help of the Raspberry Pi microcomputer, which helps in real-time monitoring via sensors. The Raspberry Pi enables faster and more secure communication between cloud services and end users.
