Implementation of an Automated System for Controlling and Monitoring a Hydroponic Greenhouse
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering and Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 10
Abstract
The objective of the paper is to create a hydroponic domestic controller that monitors and controls the environmental factors necessary for a successful hydroponic culture. The implementation was held using the Arduino Mega 2560 platform as it has a lot of memory and provides several slots to support screens, sensors, relays and shields. The system gathers data relating to light intensity of the light bulb, humidity and temperature of the greenhouse, temperature, level, conductivity and acidity of the crop mixture and sends them to the Arduino microcontroller. The user via an LCD monitor is able to monitor the above data in real time and manually control the activation and deactivation of the ventilation, fan, lamp, and humidifier of the greenhouse. In addition, he/she is able to define the lowest desired humidity limit, the acidity limits of the mixture, the fertilizers dosings as well as the exact time of activation and deactivation of the culture lamp. The controller undertakes to manage all of the above data and automatically perform specific functions to maintain the cultivation factors related to lamp’s operation time, plant nutrition, crop acidity, and room humidity at the desired levels. The controller also provides the ability to store and monitor the maximum and minimum values of environmental factors that occur during operation.
