Abstract
Abstract - This research paper presents an IoT-based greenhouse monitoring and controlling system designed to enhance
agricultural practices in Somalia. Somalia’s economy relies heavily on agriculture, making it vital to address challenges and
improve productivity. The proposed method employs a network of sensors and actuators, led by the Arduino Uno
microcontroller, to monitor and optimize critical environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity, soil moisture, and
light intensity within greenhouses. The system automates irrigation, lighting, and cooling through real-time data collection
and analysis, reducing human intervention while promoting resource efficiency. The system’s remote monitoring capabilities
empower farmers to make informed decisions from anywhere, ensuring optimal greenhouse conditions. The system’s
adaptability to varying climate conditions in Somalia renders it a versatile tool for enhancing crop growth and productivity.
Results demonstrate that the IoT-based system has the potential to revolutionize greenhouse farming, contributing to improved
food security and economic development in Somalia.
