Networked embedded greenhouse monitoring and control

Networked embedded systems have become quite important nowadays, especially for monitoring and control of distance and dislocated objects. Small greenhouses are typical examples. First, they are usually located far away from the owners house, and second, the plant growth is an example of the process which needs constant 24 hours monitoring. In this paper networked embedded greenhouse monitoring and control based on simple embedded web servers and 1-wire protocol for connecting sensors and actuators is described. Hardware and software architecture of embedded web servers are described and the experimental results of monitoring and control of laboratory greenhouse model are presented.
