Web based distant monitoring and control for greenhouse systems using the Sun SPOT modules

This article presents a solution for distant monitoring and control of the greenhouse system via internet. It has a web based user interface with possibility of managing the sensors and actuators. Also allows to log events on the system like humidity, temperature, light etc. This Web based distant monitoring system uses a high end PIC microcontroller based developer board with Ethernet adapter that will allow you to monitor and control the laboratory from any Internet connection. This solution offers a live video stream from the greenhouse's camera and allows monitoring the growth of the plants. With the usage of Sun SPOT based wireless sensor network is realized the environment monitoring. The described system is highly customizable and easily adaptable to particular deployment requirements.
