Development of cloud-based Light intensity monitoring system for green house using Raspberry Pi

Light measurement with accuracy is essential in creating desired outcomes in practical daily applications such as poultry industry, traffic lighting system, gardening or farming, at emergency exits, etc. Hence, light measurement and scrutiny is an important step to ensue the efficiency as well as safety. Normally the growth of plants depends on light intensity falls on top of canopy. In this paper we have presented the real-time remote Light intensity monitoring system using Raspberry Pi, which provides the facility to monitor the lighting system remotely. The main characteristic of the proposed system is timely light intensity monitoring and storage of data in the database on the cloud for further reference in future. Because of this facility it is easy to take proper decision at proper time to obtain the required result for the growth of plant.
