1.1 Problem Summary (What exact problems are you trying to solve?) and
Introduction
In India „Agriculture‟ has its own history. If we check the statistics of world‟s
country we can say that India ranks second in farm output. 13.7% of the GDP (Gross
Domestic Product) was accounted for agriculture and allied sectors in 2013; about 50% of
the workforce depends on farming. The contribution of agriculture to India‟s GDP is
steadily decreasing with the countries less attention over farmers. Still agriculture is the
broadest sector and plays a significant role in the overall social fabric of India.
Today automobile industries, mills and factories are expanding their areas in
India. One side these are beneficial for us as it provides job and products and at the other
side these are polluting our environment. And have become a serious challenge for global
warming. Global warming is affecting our climate and we face uncertain change in our
environment which damages our agricultural crop. As told in above passage, In India
about 50% of people depends on agriculture. And global warming is one of the major
problems for them. Recently India faced a big drought in Vidarbha area of Maharashtra.
The announced by government after one year was gone. Some of the farmers were
suffered too much by this drought even some did suicide.
Some of the crops of specific season are not able to get required climatic
conditions due to uncertain change in our environment due to greenhouse effect. Some of
the Industries are polluting rivers by ejecting harmful chemicals in it. Some horticultural
plants don‟t grow due to insufficient watering and some due to insufficient temperature
and etc. Green house is one and only solution against uncertain climate change or global
warming. Green house helps our farmers to create an artificial environment for
maintaining required temperature, humidity and light. Today Green house systems are
available in market as user desires it to work like. But the problem is user has to observe
it continuously to check whether it is working properly or not. There is no effective
monitoring of green house systems to monitor the green house climate conditions at
unbounded distance.
14 VGEC, Chandkheda | GTU, Ahmedabad
Green house systems need proper care. For example, we have to fill water
manually or make water pump on at ourselves. Means systems are less automatic. They
cannot be monitored from Rajkot at Ahmedabad. Or the installation of green house
systems available in market is quite complex means customer cannot operate it as he
wants.
Here we are designing a green house system fully automatic and monitoring of it
can be done from anywhere in the world having net access. In our system we have used
three main sensors needed to check climatic changes in our environment. The sensors we
have used are light sensor, humidity sensor and temperature sensor. A microcontroller is
used to operate on these sensors and to provide required light, water and heat when the
environment has some change. Internet of things is interfaced through a computer system.
Internet of things make monitoring of system accessible everywhere having net access on
any device.
15 VGEC, Chandkheda | GTU, Ahmedabad
1.2 Aim and objectives of the project
A greenhouse is an important part of the agriculture and horticulture sectors in our
country. It is used for growing plants faster at any season whether the climate is according
to plant or not. Automatic monitoring and controlling of the climatic parameters will
directly or indirectly govern the plant growth and hence their production. Green houses
are used where climatic conditions are not as expected. At those places Green houses are
used as an artificial environment to create required environmental conditions.
Main aim of this project is to help farmers even in opposite environmental
conditions like in overheat and less humidity conditions. Here controlling part will be
handled by our microcontroller and monitoring part will be handled by the computer and
the data will be sent to cloud through website created. So user will not need to go to their
sight and observe the conditions. Through web interface our user will have comfort to
monitor their system from their home or any place. No need to have specific application
or Bluetooth devices to monitor the conditions.
16 VGEC, Chandkheda | GTU, Ahmedabad
1.3 Problem Specifications
Prior green house systems were not using microcontroller. Means the systems were
not automatic. User checks the conditions and takes proper action.
After sometime the green house systems were made automatic means system will
work for the user and takes proper action to maintain climatic conditions. But
monitoring was done by live presence of user.
After some time monitoring was made easy and user was able to monitor the green
house from his home. Here the distance from the system was limited.
Manufacturers use Bluetooth app or system specific screen having data of green house
climatic conditions. Here also the monitoring becomes bounded.

2.5 IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY
1. AEIOU SUMMARY CANVAS:
We have done some activity like we visited a village of farmers, went to farms
having green house system implemented. And watched the techniques how mass
production is being done.
We visited farms, bungalows, green areas, industries and zoo for checking the
environment maintained in green house.
We interacted with our friends, vendors, businessmen, farmers and searched on
Google.
Common objects we observed in green house were different types of sensors,
controlling machine and monitoring screen.
Green house systems are being used by farmers, individuals, food experts,
industries and smart farms.
2. IDEATION CANVAS:
Farmers, individuals, food experts, industries and smart farms are using
conventional green house system implementations.
They are using machine manually and not taking any automatic work.
In situations watering is slow; user has to himself on the water pump.
Possible solutions are designing a machine with automatic work and an effective
monitoring platform.
3. PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT CANVAS:
Purpose of designing this system is to automate the controlling part and make the
monitoring worldwide.
This system will be helpful to farmers, individuals, food experts, industries and
smart farms.
AT89S52 microcontroller is central controlling processor. LDR, LM35 are
sensors which will sense the light and temperature and through ADC outputs of
sensors will be converted to digital form and will be given to microcontroller then
microcontroller will on the light, cooling fan or bulb if needed.
27 VGEC, Chandkheda | GTU, Ahmedabad
4. EMPATHY SUMMARY CANVAS:
To fulfill this canvas we interacted with different users using green house systems.
They told us their problems related to existing green house systems and we listed
those problems.
We searched on internet about those problems like system was not working
automatically and monitoring was possible up to some distance.
Heater sometimes goes overheated
By manually operating green house systems farmers were happy when they were
near to the system.

3.2 Micro controller AT89S52:
8051 is the name of a big family of microcontrollers. The device which we used in
our project was the 'AT89S52' which is a typical 8051 microcontroller manufactured by
Atmel™. The block diagram provided by Atmel™ in their datasheet that showed the
architecture of 89S52 device seemed a bit complicated. A simpler architecture can be
represented below
The 89S52 has 4 different ports, each one having 8 Input/output lines providing a total of
32 I/O lines. Those ports can be used to output DATA and orders do other devices, or to
read the state of a sensor, or a switch. Most of the ports of the 89S52 have 'dual function'
meaning that they can be used for two different functions.
The first one is to perform input/output operations and the second one is used to
implement special features of the microcontroller like counting external pulses,
interrupting the execution of the program according to external events, performing serial
data transfer or connecting the chip to a computer to update the software. Each port has 8
31 VGEC, Chandkheda | GTU, Ahmedabad
pins, and will be treated from the software point of view as an 8-bit variable called
'register', each bit being connected to a different Input/output pin.
There are two different memory types: RAM and EEPROM. Shortly, RAM is used to
store variable during program execution, while the EEPROM memory is used to store the
program itself, that's why it is often referred to as the 'program memory'. It is clear that
the CPU (Central Processing Unit) is the heart of the micro controllers. It is the CPU that
will Read the program from the FLASH memory and execute it by interacting with the
different peripherals.
Diagram below shows the pin configuration of the 89S52, where the function of each pin
is written next to it, and, if it exists, the dual function is written between brackets. Note
that the pins that have dual functions can still be used normally as an input/output pin.
Unless the program uses their dual functions, all the 32 I/O pins of the microcontroller are
configured as input/output pins.
32 VGEC, Chandkheda | GTU, Ahmedabad
3.3 ADC 0804
Analog to digital converters find huge application as an intermediate device to
convert the signals from analog to digital form. These digital signals are used for further
processing by the digital processors. Various sensors like temperature, pressure, force etc.
convert the physical characteristics into electrical signals that are analog in nature.
ADC0804 is a very commonly used 8-bit analog to digital convertor. It is a single
channel IC, i.e., it can take only one analog signal as input. The digital outputs vary from
0 to a maximum of 255. The step size can be adjusted by setting the reference voltage at
pin9. When this pin is not connected, the default reference voltage is the operating
voltage, i.e., Vcc. The step size at 5V is 19.53mV (5V/255), i.e., for every 19.53mV rise
in the analog input, the output varies by 1 unit. To set a particular voltage level as the
reference value, this pin is connected to half the voltage. For example, to set a reference
of 4V (Vref), pin9 is connected to 2V (Vref/2), thereby reducing the step size to 15.62mV
(4V/255).
ADC0804 needs a clock to operate. The time taken to convert the analog value to
digital value is dependent on this clock source. An external clock can be given at the
Clock IN pin. ADC 0804 also has an inbuilt clock which can be used in absence of
external clock. A suitable RC circuit is connected between the Clock IN and Clock R pins
to use the internal clock.
33 VGEC, Chandkheda | GTU, Ahmedabad
3.4 Light Dependent Resistor (LDR)
A Light Dependent Resistor (LDR) or a photo resistor is a device whose
resistivity is a function of the incident electromagnetic radiation. Hence, they are light
sensitive devices.
They are also called as photo conductors, photo conductive cells or simply
photocells. They are made up of semiconductor materials having high resistance. There
are many different symbols used to indicate a LDR, one of the most commonly used
symbol is shown in the figure below. The arrow indicates light falling on it.
A light dependent resistor works on the principle of photo-conductivity. Photo
conductivity is an optical phenomenon in which the materials conductivity is increased
when light is absorbed by the material.
When light falls i.e. when the photons fall on the device, the electrons in the
valence band of the semiconductor material are excited to the conduction band. These
photons in the incident light should have energy greater than the band gap of the
semiconductor material to make the electrons jump from the valence band to the
conduction band. Hence when light having enough energy strikes on the device, more and
more electrons are excited to the conduction band which results in large number of charge
carriers. The result of this process is more and more current starts flowing throgh the
device when the circuit is closed and hence it is said that the resistance of the device has
been decreased. This is the most common working principle of LDR.
34 VGEC, Chandkheda | GTU, Ahmedabad
LDR‟s are light dependent devices whose resistance is decreased when light falls
on them and that is increased in the dark. When a light dependent resistor is kept in dark,
its resistance is very high. This resistance is called as dark resistance. It can be as high as
1012 Ω and if the device is allowed to absorb light its resistance will be decreased
drastically. If a constant voltage is applied to it and intensity of light is increased the
current starts increasing. Figure below shows resistance vs. illumination curve for a
particular LDR.
35 VGEC, Chandkheda | GTU, Ahmedabad
3.5 LM35 Temperature Sensor
The LM35 series are precision integrated-circuit temperature sensors, whose
output voltage is linearly proportional to the Celsius (Centigrade) temperature. The LM35
thus has an advantage over linear temperature sensors calibrated in ° Kelvin, as the user is
not required to subtract a large constant voltage from its output to obtain convenient
Centigrade scaling. The LM35 does not require any external calibration or trimming to
provide typical accuracies of ±1⁄4°C at room temperature and ±3⁄4°C over a full −55 to
+150°C temperature range. Low cost is assured by trimming and calibration at the wafer
level. The LM35‟s low output impedance, linear output, and precise inherent calibration
make interfacing to readout or control circuitry especially easy. It can be used with single
power supplies, or with plus and minus supplies. As it draws only 60 μA from its supply,
it has very low self-heating, less than 0.1°C in still air.
36 VGEC, Chandkheda | GTU, Ahmedabad
3.6 Humidity Sensor
A capacitive humidity sensor detects humidity based on a change of capacitance
between two detection electrodes on a semiconductor substrate.
A resistive humidity sensor detects humidity by measuring the change in the
resistance of a humidity-sensitive resistor (humistor).
An impedance humidity sensor changes its electrical impedance as the humidity
of the surrounding environment changes.
A mechanical humidity sensor activates a switch in response to humidity, driven
by the difference in expansion between one humidity-sensitive fiber and one
humidity-insensitive fiber.

3.7 MAX 232
Description:
Max232 is designed by Maxim Integrated Products. This IC is widely used in
RS232 Communication systems in which the conversion of voltage level is required to
make TTL devices to be compatible with PC serial port and vice versa. This chip contains
charge pumps which pumps the voltage to the Desired Level. It can be powered by a
single +5 volt power supply and its output can reach +_7.5 volts.MAX232 comes in 16
Pin Dip and many other packages and it contains Dual Drivers. It can be used as a
hardware layer convertor for 2 systems to communicate simultaneously.Max232 is one of
the versatile IC to use in most of the signal voltage level conversion problems.

3.8 System working:
For power supply in the “Greenhouse Monitoring and Control System” to provide 5V and
12V, the circuit consists of step down transformer of 230/12V. This transformer steps
down 230V AC from main supply to 12V AC. Then that 12V AC is converted into 12V
DC with the help of bridge rectifier. After that a 1000/25V capacitor is used to filter the
ripples and then it passes through voltage regulator. There are two power supply arranged
in same manner one containing 500mA transformer and second has 750mA transformer.
This project comprises of sensors, Analog to Digital Converter (ADC), Micro – controller
AT89S52, Relay driver IC (ULN2003), Relays, MAX 232 IC, dB9 connector and laptop.
The AT89S52 micro – controller is as the heart of the system, it makes the set-up low-
cost and effective nevertheless. Each sensor gives their measured parameter found to the
micro – controller through ADC after being converted to a digital form. When any one of
the parameter read by the controller crosses a safety limitation which has to be maintained
for protection of the crops, then micro-controller performs the required actions by
employing relays until the strayed-out parameter has been brought back to its optimum
level.
Monitoring of parameters is done through IOT means internet of things. We have taken
outputs from micro-controller through MAX 232 IC and laptop takes the reading of
different sensors and checks the green house condition and sends the data on server
created by us which is then accessed by user at any place.
For example when temperature exceeds its level microcontroller will on the cooling fan
connected with relay. Same way when temperature is lower, microcontroller will on the
bulb or heater. Hence the temperature will be maintained.

4.3 Scope of future work
This paper describes the design of a greenhouse monitoring system based on
Cloud IoT. Agriculture projects even in urban areas are on a rise in recent times, in
unique forms. Technological progress makes the agricultural sector grow high, which
here is made by the Cloud IoT. The IoT will dramatically change the way we live our
daily lives and what information is stored about us. This cloud computing is free to use
anytime and anywhere as long as the computer is connected with the Internet. This
monitoring system percepts different parameters inside the greenhouse using sensors,
GSM, and cloud to provide the updates. The developed system can be proved profitable
as it will optimize the resources in the greenhouse. The complete module is of low cost,
low power operation hence, easily available to everyone.
This project is a basic idea of the research regarding greenhouse but still there is a
lot more to be explored technologically.
