Implementation of Internet of Things Technology in Greenhouses: Design and Prototyping

In order to improve agricultural production processes, to increase product quality, to reduce the input use, the collection of data in the field, and those must be converted to useful information. the smart systems, machines and smart objects with internet access from the field, enabling communication with each other can provide more efficient energy use, water, fertilizer and resource use, along with increased productivity. in the study, a prototype system was developed by using internet of things technology so that temperature variations in greenhouse can measure, monitor, and connect to the web as wireless. two wireless sensor nodes that can be connected to internet were designed for temperature measurement. each node consists of a raspberry pi 2 single board minicomputer, wifi adapter and two ds18b20 temperature sensor. the system was tested by recording to database and bymonitoring at web environment air, soil and water temperature data, which were measured inside greenhouse.
