LoraWAN-based intelligent multi-greenhouse monitoring and control

Abstract

The development of communication technologies has brought about a revolution in agriculture and greenhouse farming. It has empowered farmers with the ability to monitor and control various parameters with greater precision and efficiency. As prolonged rainfall and excessive heat increase the risk of pests and diseases resulting in crop failure, an agricultural greenhouse is more important in the agricultural sector. The system of greenhouse cultivation is relatively new; therefore, farmers still use this system traditionally. The monitoring of different agriculture parameters, like humidity, temperature, brightness, etc., is done with the help of a human being. It is observed that farmers have to bear huge financial losses due to bad weather forecasts and bad methods of irrigation. Therefore, this research aims to develop a multi-greenhouse monitoring and control platform using IoT architecture based on LoraWAN modules.
