GreenHouse Climate Controller System

IoT enabled greenhouse climate controller system can be used by reseachers for agri research applications for creating a desired environment as per crop need.

The problem GreenHouse Climate Controller System solves

These days farmers are suffering from low crop yield, leading to heavy loss due to lack of guidance and knowledge. This is where our model can help them when agricultural scientist use this system to judge the accurate parameters for any crop as per requirement and eventually help out farmers.
Medicinal plants are known to be particularly sensitive towards climate. But with the use of this model, it is possible to study the optimum climatic conditions for their healthy growth and thus develop useful medicines for the cure of various diseases. This can be really helpful in the coming future.
Prototype is developed around Arduino mega development board, touchscreen display, WIFI module, relay board and sensors for Temperature, humidity, light, and Soil moisture. Predefined range of ambient light, temperature, humidity, and soil moisture are required to maintain inside the Greenhouse chamber as per crop need. These Environmental parameters will be detected using sensors in real time Actuators/loads like cooling/heating system, light, water pump will be switched on/off to maintain desired range inside the greenhouse chamber. These data will be uploaded to cloud and the whole operation can be monitored using mobile application.
In short, it gives a detailed graphical and textual representation of various parameterical values like temperature , humidity, light and soil moisture of a typical Green house, which can help analysts to properly assess the data.

Challenges we ran into

We were initially facing some issues in connecting the development board to thingspeak cloud but eventually it was sorted out.
We faced issues in transferring data from thingspeak cloud to flutter.
