2. PROBLEM STATEMENT
• Greenhouses are climate-controlled structures with walls and roofs that are specifically designed for off-
season plant growth. Most greenhouse systems use manual systems to monitor temperature and humidity,
which can be inconvenient for workers who must visit the greenhouse every day and manually control them.
• Traditional farming methods have been found to be incapable of delivering an adequate amount of fertilizer.
• Similarly, no explicit measure to regulate climate parameters can be established.
• In this system, we have created a prototype that includes a sensor network (SN)-based node and a Raspberry
Pi-based embedded system (ES) that is active in monitoring climatic parameters such as air temperature, air
humidity, soil moisture, air carbon dioxide, and light intensity within a greenhouse environment.
• In this system, the Raspberry Pi-based ES is integrated with IoT analytics, and sensor nodes are physically
placed in a greenhouse environment to record climate parameter data that is forwarded to the gateway.
3. PROPOSED SYSTEM
• IOT and raspberry pi-based greenhouse monitoring system in the presence of three sensors is used to detect
temperature, light, humidity and soil moisture in the greenhouse. The greenhouse effect is a natural
phenomenon and beneficial to human beings.
• Numerous farmers fail to get good profits from greenhouse crops for the reason that they can’t manage two
essential factors, which determine plant growth as well as productivity.
• Greenhouse temperature should not go below a certain degree, high humidity can result to crop transpiration,
condensation of water vapour on various greenhouse surfaces, and water evaporation from the humid soil.
To overcome such challenges, this greenhouse monitoring system involves rescue.
• The temperature sensor senses the level of temperature. If it goes high DC fans get on and when the
temperature goes low the fan gets off. Soil moisture sensor senses the water level as the level decreases the
pumps get on.
• In the absence of light, the LDR sensor senses and the bulb starts glowing. Also, a GSM module is used to
send the status of the sensor every 30 secs. In this way, it will become easy to monitor and control the
system.
6. CIRCUIT DESIGN
A circuit is actually any loop through which matter is
carried. For an electronic circuit, the matter carried is
the charge by electronics and the source of these
electrons is the positive terminal of the voltage source
.When this charge flows from the positive terminal,
through out the loop and reaches the negative terminal,
the circuit is said to be completed. However this circuit
consists of a number of components which affects the
flow of charge in many ways. Some may provide
hindrance to the flow of charge, some simple store or
dissipate charge. Some require external source of
energy, some supply energy.
Circuit Design Tools:
• Eagle, Kicad, Proteus
• Circuit Digest Capacitor Calculator
• Nevon Express Resistor Color Code Calculator
7. PROGRAMMING
Raspberry Pi is the name of a series of single-board
computers made by the Raspberry Pi Foundation, a
UK charity that aims to educate people in computing
and create easier access to computing education.
The Raspberry Pi is a very cheap computer that runs
Linux, but it also provides a set of GPIO (general
purpose input/output) pins, allowing you to control
electronic components for physical computing and
explore the Internet of Things (IoT).
The Raspberry Pi operates in the open source
ecosystem: it runs Linux (a variety of distributions),
and its main supported operating system, Pi OS, is
open source and runs a suite of open source
software.
8. WHAT IS A PYTHON PROGRAM?
▪ Python is a very useful programming
language that has an easy to read
syntax, and allows programmers to
use fewer lines of code than would be
possible in languages such as assembly,
C, or Java.
▪ The Python programming language
actually started as a scripting language
for Linux. Python programs are similar to
shell scripts in that the files contain a
series of commands that the computer
executes from top to bottom.

A microcontroller is a compact integrated circuit designed to
govern a specific operation in an embedded system. A
typical microcontroller includes a processor, memory and
input/output (I/O) peripherals on a single chip.
A development board is a printed circuit board with circuitry
and hardware designed to facilitate experimentation with a
certain microcontroller. Also there are certain hardware
circuits that greatly aid testing and debugging such as
pushbuttons and LEDs.

12. Transformers & Power Supply
A power supply is an electrical device that supplies electric
power to an electrical load. The main purpose of a power supply
is to convert electric current from a source to the
correct voltage, current, and frequency to power the load.
