Energy Conservation with Intelligent Greenhouse Automation

Abstract

Greenhouse automation is the remote management and control of household appliances for energy consumption. Smart devices are used in smart greenhouse systems that are intended to enhance users’ lives by automating greenhouse security and safety and introducing extra features like remote greenhouse surveillance. This research proposed a greenhouse monitoring system with Internet of Things (IoT) to monitor energy consumption. The infrared (IR) sensor helps to identify the presence of human inside the greenhouse. NodeMCU in the proposed system helps in sending data/signal to ThingSpeak for the storage of information. The threshold value set on each appliance helps in energy consumption. During abnormal conditions in any of the greenhouse automation system, an alert is shared to the concerned person through Global System for Mobile communication (GSM) Module. A Blynk application developed helps in controlling the greenhouse appliance remotely. The monitoring and controlling temperature and soil moisture is provided accurately. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2024.
