The global water crisis is one of the serious threats that human being is facing and especially
farmers due to a variety of environment issues. This growing trend of water scarcity led to the
existence of the efficiency of irrigation systems for agricultural proposes using electronic
sensors and performance systems to precise the amount of water for the growth of plants.
However, currently, some automation attempts led to a sub-optimal solution as they do not
take into account the vegetative development state of the plants and the small differences in
environmental conditions present inside greenhouses. In this project, the work is based on
developping a monitoring system based on measurement nodes for real-time monitoring
temperature, and humidity. Open-source hardware and sensors was use to create the
measurement nodes using LoRa WAN a wireless sensor network. The aim of this work is to
create a network of sensors inside a greenhouse in order to obtain regularly updated
information. The data is going to be useful since is easy to utilize by the farmers directly from
a platform. Measurement node, communicating in real-time through LoRa, will transmit data
to the gateway which will then be displayed on a dashboard.
The classic internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks which carries a vast range of information resources and services in which HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is the first protocol used to transfer hypertext data, from server to the end customer. The classic internet is thus based on the internet of data. On the other hand, the internet of things (IoT), is a new tool for connectivity and mobility, that is to transform business and is helpful in daily life to connect objects. Nowadays, common objects become active and intelligent, integrating seamlessly into a global network and can produce and exchange useful data without the intervention of humans. It’s a network of networks that allows us to identify and communicate digitally with the physical and virtual world. In the near future, the IoT will cover a wide range of applications in our daily life. The world is experiencing a huge increase of intelligent objects, that has led cloud service companies to make platforms known as the Internet of things platforms (IoT platform), which contain services, statistics, libraries, analyses that facilitate communication as well as accelerate and reduce the cost of product development of IoT applications.
