Multisensory System for Monitoring and Control of Artificial Plant Growing Environment

The paper represents a small controller with wireless connection, which measures air temperature, air humidity and soil humidity. As an output action it can switch on and off an irrigation pump. Monitoring is realized over Wi-Fi connection to a gateway and cloud service. The service allows database storage and graph representation of the input values via desktop or mobile device browser. Sensors choice is also explained in details with advantages and disadvantages of the possible solutions. Developed device allows fine tuning, according to the target plants, can be duplicated many times in the range of the hothouse. It is one of the cheapest solutions which provides very stable work as a result of the specific implementation.
