WSN based Low Cost and Low Power EPM Design and Field Micro-Climate Analysis using Recent Embedded Controllers

Environment conditions can be maintained by the computerized control systems, where the system can be operated manually or automatically. By 2020, it will prove to be the utmost necessity everywhere in the world, particularly for agriculture for field micro-climate control. Today, in agriculture, the net house technology is a proven technology for optimum agricultural yield with most minimum natural resources in the countries with far below average rain fall, such as Israel. The production increases manifold irrespective of all adverse environmental conditions. It is necessary to maintain parameters such as temperature, humidity and luminous intensity under control. However, recent technologies including WSN based Environment Parameter Monitoring (shortly called as WSN-EPM) is very costly affair for developing countries including India. Hence, the challenge is to design low cost and low power WSN EPM.
