An Arduino-based Smart Greenhouse System designed to measure soil moisture, temperature, and humidity using multiple sensors. All sensor readings are displayed in real time on a 16×2 LCD display .
The system automatically controls a water pump, foggers, and an exhaust fan based on sensor values to maintain a healthy environment for plant growth.
Note: This project was completed as our First-Year, First-Semester Final Group Project, focusing on embedded systems, sensor integration, and automation control using Arduino.

This project uses the following Arduino libraries:
| Library | Version | Purpose | Installation |
|---|---|---|---|
| DHT sensor library | Latest | Read temperature and humidity from DHT22 sensor | Search "DHT sensor library" by Adafruit in Library Manager |
| LiquidCrystal_I2C | Latest | Control multiple I2C LCD displays | Search "LiquidCrystal I2C" by Frank de Brabander in Library Manager |
| Wire | Built-in | I2C communication protocol | Pre-installed with Arduino IDE |
- DHT Sensor Library: GitHub - Adafruit DHT
- LiquidCrystal I2C: GitHub - LiquidCrystal_I2C
- Sensors measure soil moisture, temperature, and humidity.
- Values are processed by the Arduino.
- LCD displays real-time environmental readings.
- If values exceed set thresholds:
- Water pump activates for dry soil
- Foggers activate for low humidity
- Exhaust fan activates for high temperature
- System loops continuously, updating every second.

You can customize the automation thresholds by modifying these values in the code:
// Soil Moisture Threshold (adjust based on your sensor)
int soilThreshold = 500; // Lower value = wetter soil
// Temperature Threshold (°C)
int tempThreshold = 30;
// Humidity Threshold (%)
int humidityThreshold = 60;Contributions are welcome! Feel free to:
