Abstract

Abstract: To promote the high-quality development of agriculture, meet the needs of agricultural products grown in greenhouses, and achieve precise monitoring of greenhouse plants, a small greenhouse micro-environment multi-parameter monitoring system was designed and implemented. The system consists of three parts: a monitoring node, a gateway node, and a remote management platform. The monitoring node used the ESP32 microcontroller as the main control chip, combined ZigBee technology, and embedded different sensors to complete the collection and transmission of environmental parameters. In the gateway node, the 4G Data Transfer Unit module was used as the carrier, and the communication protocol was used to realize data communication between the monitoring terminal and the gateway. The remote management platform was based on the PyCharm development platform. It used the PyQt5 graphical user interface (GUI) toolkit to complete the design of the host computer monitoring platform, establish a database, and realize the storage and analysis of environmental parameters. The remote management platform embedded the crop reference evapotranspiration, online calculation model, to provide irrigation decisions for greenhouse crop management and improve the applicability and accuracy of irrigation decisions. After the experimental test platform was built to test the system communication distance, communication reliability, control reliability, and data reliability, the small greenhouse micro-environment multi-parameter monitoring system designed in this paper can operate stably for a long time. Its functions meet the expected requirements and are in line with modern requirements for multi-parameter monitoring of smart greenhouses.
