Abstract:

Agricultural production is becoming increasingly intelligent and technological with the continuous advancement of science and technology. With the improvement of people's living standards, the demand for high-quality agricultural products is increasing, and the production of high-quality agricultural products is inseparable from precise agricultural management. The agricultural Internet of Things is vital in smart agricultural management due to its powerful multi-device, user and data collaboration functions. This paper designs an intelligent agricultural control system based on the ESP8266 WiFi module. The system aims to promote the transformation of traditional agriculture to precision agricultural practices. The system uses STM32F103c8t6 to integrate temperature and humidity, soil moisture, light intensity and carbon dioxide sensors, communicates data through low-cost ESP8266 WiFi, and manages data on the OneNET cloud platform. Users can realise data visualisation and historical data viewing through PC Web or mobile apps and remotely control the agricultural environment. The system adopts an integrated data acquisition node design, significantly reducing smart agricultural deployment's cost and complexity. The OneNET comprehensive data management platform comprehensively monitors and controls the agricultural environment, providing convenience for user management. The experimental results show that the system has excellent stability, accuracy and reliability. If the WiFi is disconnected, it can automatically reconnect within three seconds to ensure the continuity of data collection. The IoT-based environmental monitoring and control system in smart agriculture simplifies the user's supervision of the agricultural environment, reduces the cost of deploying the smart agricultural system, and improves the feasibility of precision agricultural management.
