Synopsis On GSM Based Home Security System

This document discusses an Arduino-based greenhouse system. It begins with an introduction to greenhouses, describing their various sizes and functions. It then provides a block diagram of the Arduino-based greenhouse system, which will use sensors like soil moisture, temperature, humidity, and light sensors to automatically control the greenhouse environment. The document lists the hardware, software, and sensor requirements and describes how greenhouses allow for greater environmental control to improve food production.

GREENHOUSE

Synopsis

INTRODUCTION
A greenhouse (also called a glasshouse or a hothouse) is a
building or complex in which plants are grown. These structures
range in size from small sheds to industrial-sized buildings. A
miniature greenhouse is known as a cold frame.
Commercial glass greenhouses are often high tech production
facilities for vegetables or flowers. The glass greenhouses are
filled with equipment like screening installations, heating,
cooling, lighting and also may be automatically controlled by a
computer to maximize potential growth.
A greenhouse is a structural building with different types of
covering materials, such as a glass or plastic roof and
frequently glass or plastic walls; it heats up because incoming
visible sunshine is absorbed inside the structure. Air warmed by
the heat from warmed interior surfaces is retained in the
building by the roof and wall; the air that is warmed near the
ground is prevented from rising indefinitely and flowing away.
This is not the same mechanism as the "greenhouse effect".
Greenhouses can be divided into glass greenhouses and
plastic greenhouses. Plastics mostly used are polyethylene film
and multiwall sheets of polycarbonatematerial, or PMMA acrylic
glass. Commercial glass greenhouses are often high-tech
production facilities for vegetables or flowers. The glass
greenhouses are filled with equipment such as screening
installations, heating, cooling and lighting, and may be
automatically controlled by a computer.

Why Arduino?
There are many other microcontrollers and
microcontroller platforms available for physical
computing. Parallax Basic Stamp,Netmedia's BX24,Phidgets,MIT's Handyboard, and many othersoffer
similar functionality. All of these tools take the messy
details of microcontroller programming and wrap it up
in an easy-to-use package. Arduino also simplifies the
process of working with microcontroller, but it offers

some advantage for teachers,students, and interested


amateurs over other systems.
HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS:1.Arduino UNO.
2.GSM Module.
SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS:1.Arduino software
SENSORS:1.Soil moisture
2.LM35
3.Humidity
4.LDR
APPLICATIONS:Greenhouses allow for greater control over the growing
environment of plants. Depending upon the technical
specification of a greenhouse, key factors which may be
controlled include temperature, levels of light and
shade, irrigation, fertilizer application, and
atmospheric humidity. Greenhouses may be used to overcome
shortcomings in the growing qualities of a piece of land, such
as a short growing season or poor light levels, and they can
thereby improve food production in marginal environments.
As they may enable certain crops to be grown throughout the
year, greenhouses are increasingly important in the food supply
of high-latitude countries. One of the largest complexes in the
world is in Almera, Andaluca, Spain, where greenhouses
cover almost 200 km2 (49,000 acres)

Greenhouses are often used for


growing flowers, vegetables, fruits, and transplants. Special
greenhouse varieties of certain crops, such as tomatoes, are
generally used for commercial production. Many vegetables
and flowers can be grown in greenhouses in late winter and
early spring, and then transplanted outside as the weather
warms. Bumblebees are the pollinators of choice for
most pollination, although other types of bees have been used,
as well as artificial pollination. Hydroponics can be used to
make the most use of the interior space.
The relatively closed environment of a greenhouse has its own
unique management requirements, compared with outdoor
production. Pests and diseases, and extremes of heat and
humidity, have to be controlled, and irrigation is necessary to
provide water. Most greenhouses use sprinklers or drip lines.
Significant inputs of heat and light may be required, particularly
with winter production of warm-weather vegetables.
Greenhouses also have applications outside of
the agriculture industry. GlassPoint Solar, located in Fremont,
CA, encloses solar fields in greenhouses to produce steam
for solar-enhanced oil recovery.
