The system monitors and controls greenhouse parameters like temperature, humidity, soil moisture, and sunlight using sensors, an analog-to-digital converter, microcontroller, and actuators. The sensors continuously sense the parameters and send the data to the microcontroller via the ADC. The microcontroller then takes corrective actions like turning on the water pump, cooler, or lights if a parameter exceeds its threshold. An LCD displays the parameter readings and status of the control actions. Test results found the system provides reliable and accurate monitoring and control with low power consumption.

Features
5. The system comprises of sensors, Analog to Digital Converter,
microcontroller and actuators. To eliminate the difficulties involved
in the agriculture by reducing human intervention to the best, the
sensors sense the change and the microcontroller reads this from
the data at its input ports after being converted to a digital form by
the ADC . The microcontroller then performs the needed actions by
employing relays until the strayed-out parameter has been brought
back to its optimum level. As the system also employs an LCD
display for continuously alerting.

7. HARDWARE:
Transducers
A transducer is a device which measures a physical quantity and converts it
into a signal which can be read by an observer. It can also be read by an
instrument.
1. Light Sensor (LDR (Light Dependent Resistor))
2. Humidity Sensor
3. Temperature Sensor
Analog to Digital Converter
We need an analog to digital converter (ADC), which is an electronic
circuit that converts continuous signals into discrete form so that the
microcontroller can read the data. Analog to digital converters are the most
widely used devices for data acquisition.
Microcontroller (AT89C51):
It constantly monitors the digitized parameters of the various sensors and
verifies them with the predefined threshold values . It checks if any corrective
action is to be taken for the condition at that instant of time.
8. Liquid Crystal Display:
Each monochrome pixels consists of a column of liquid crystal
molecules suspended between two transparent electrodes, and two polarizing
filters, the axes of polarity of which are perpendicular to each other.
Relays:
Because a relay is able to control an output circuit of higher power than
the input circuit, it can be considered to be, in a broad sense, a form of an
electrical amplifier.
Power Supply Connection:
The power supply section consists of the +5V and +12V power supplies
respectively.
9. SOFTWARE
KEIL SOFTWARE:
Keil Micro Vision is an integrated development environment
It is used to create software to be run on embedded systems (like a
microcontroller).
It allows for such software to be written either in assembly or C
programming languages.
10. A unique feature of the Keil 袖Vision3 IDE is the Device Database
It contains information about more than 400 supported
microcontrollers.
Peripheral Simulation:
The 袖Vision3 Debugger provides complete simulation for the CPU and
on- chip peripherals of most embedded devices.
Device Database:
11. The programmer used is a powerful programmer for the Atmel 89 series of
microcontrollers.
Atmel 89 includes 89C51/52/55, 89S51/52/55 and many more.
