The study aims to design and implement a wireless sensor network for monitoring greenhouse environments. The network, built from off‑the‑shelf components (sensors, micro‑controller, low‑power radio), was deployed in a commercial aeroponic lettuce greenhouse in a tropical setting, enabling real‑time data collection that allowed operators to characterize and promptly adjust environmental parameters. The sensor network achieved data transmission rates exceeding 70 %.
This paper describes the design and implementation of a wireless sensor network for greenhouse environment monitoring. The sensor network was deployed in a commercial aeroponic greenhouse that produces lettuces in a tropical environment. The sensor node was developed using off-the-shelf components and consists of sensors, a micro-controller and a low-powered radio module. Realtime data enabled the operators to characterise the operating parameters of the greenhouse and also to respond immediately to any changes in the controlled parameters. The sensor network achieved data transmission rates of more than 70%.
