A smart Greenhouse is a self-regulated, climate-controlled environment for optimal growth of plants. Climatic conditions inside a greenhouse, like, temperature, humidity, lighting intensity, soil moisture are continuously monitored so as to reduce water consumption, increase efficiency and reduce the environmental impacts on yields. Precision agriculture combines the use of information and technology to ensure the best agricultural practices. Obtaining real-time non-invasive information to monitor crops or make yield predictions is a challenge. This work proposes an intelligent controlling system for greenhouses based on the architecture of the Internet of Things (IoT) powered by solar energy. With an online monitoring, users can completely control the systems, treat and analyze data via browsers in any place and at any time without any need for installing special device or software. It was demonstrated that it is possible to design an accurate system using open source hardware and open systems to record the input for these models and monitor crops. Moreover, this open source hardware can be used by a broad variety of users and is an alternative in poor rural areas Because of lower cost, less human effort, easy installation (does not require infrastructure), and lower energy consumption than other solutions.
