The greenhouse environment monitoring system based on wireless sensor network technology

ZigBee is a newly-emerging wireless network technology with short distance, low cost, low rate, low power, high capacity, high security and high reliability, and it is currently widely used in short-range wireless network area. Based on the ZigBee technology, the wireless sensor network has distinguished advantages in greenhouse environment monitoring system, and it supports self-organizing networks as well. This paper describes the greenhouse environment monitoring based on ZigBee, briefs the characteristics of these two systems, including the hardware and the software of the network coordinator node and the sensor node. The experiment shows that the node and the network coordinator are in normal communication condition, the network stability is fine, the data is consistent with the real environment, and thus wireless sensor networks can meet the requirements in the applications.
