Here, the control system can repeatedly handle vital factors for plants according to the real time clock set with microcontroller and routinely carry out wireless transmission of sensors' information to remote software (Implemented using MS Visual Studio 2010) for any further analysis. Moreover, the essential factors, Sunlight, Temperature and Humidity are controlled by the whole system. Particularly, a sensing network running by ATmega328 microcontroller based Arduino UNO Module was exclusively deployed to digitally process analog value of sensors attached to plants and for communication purpose, a wireless 433MHz ASK and 2.4GHz ISM band radio frequency based nRF24L01+PA+LNA Transmitter-Receiver pair were also installed to transmit or receive these information for succeeding analysis and supporting decisions. Finally, an apt care of data acquisition from the sensors, increasing overall productivity by means of algorithms have been observed and performed analysis in a meticulous way, which have made the exertion of Smart greenhouse different from any customary greenhouses that are available in market.
