The greenhouse effect is a process in which the atmospheric gases trap the solar radiations. This result into increasing temperature of earth more than what it could have been without atmosphere, thus making it comfortable to live. This effect is utilized to create a healthy environment to grow crops. A Green House is a structure made up of translucent material wherein climate is regulated for growing plants. This structure range from small shades to large industry sized construction. Green houses are particularly used for growing vegetables and flowers. These green houses need monitoring mechanism for knowledge of various parameters like temperature, humidity, light intensity, soil moisture contents, plant growth and atmosphere controlling or actuating elements like heaters, light sources, sprinklers, ventilators. Sensors and actuators used for measurement and control of these parameters have a limited range in terms of area covered. Hence numbers of sensors are deployed in monitoring of a typical green house. As number of sensors increases, not only the cost but also complexity of system increases. Although wireless sensor networks are proving point, but still ‘sensor count’, cannot be reduced. The objective of system presented in this paper is to reduce number of sensors required for green house monitoring and thus reduce system cost and complexity, System design, installation and monitoring.
