Abstract
Nowadays, the integration of technology with agriculture allows the construction of intelligent greenhouses through monitoring climatic variables to improve the quantity and quality of products. This work implements a low-cost method for monitoring temperature and humidity in a greenhouse at Escuela Superior Polit ́ecnica de Chimborazo (ESPOCH) wich one is an university located in Ecuador, specifically in its main campus in the city of Riobamba. Espoch offers spaces for studies in different research and engagement fields, such as the Tunshi Experimental Center where the implementation of the low-cost system be implemented. The electronic system comprises 4 sensors, an embedded card, and IoT tech to allow data stored in a local web server and a mobile app to enable remote access and evaluate real-time the greenhouse climate. The control system is an on/off process to switch on 2 single-phase squirrel cage motors to raise or lower the side curtains according to the proper temperature and humidity for a tomato crop. Results show 100% the integrity of information in sending and receiving wireless data. The absolute error is about 1.168% for temperature and 1.563% for humidity. The mean time spent raising and lowering the curtains is 22 seconds.
