Summary
This article provides an in-depth introduction to an intelligent agricultural automation system based on Internet of Things technology. The system is designed for scenarios such as greenhouses and breeding facilities, and uses wireless communication technology to achieve remote monitoring of environmental parameters and intelligent control of equipment. The system has offline self-control capability, which can automatically operate according to preset strategies even in the event of network disconnection, effectively solving the problem of labor shortage in agriculture and promoting the transformation of traditional agriculture into a modern industry with scale and intensification.
1、 The demand for modern agricultural transformation
Traditional agriculture relies on manual experience and on-site operations, facing challengesThe labor force is becoming increasingly scarce, Production efficiency is limited, Weak ability to cope with natural risksWaiting for the challenge. The intelligent agricultural self-control system uses Internet of Things technology to transform agricultural production from "relying on the weather for food" to "precise and controllable", realizing the production processHighly scalable, intensive, and industrializedSignificantly improve production efficiency and risk response capabilities, transforming traditional agriculture into an efficient modern industry.

2、 System communication architecture

Or computer software can be usedAPPUnlimited distance remote controlThe data is refreshed every minute to ensure real-time monitoring.3、 Core functional characteristics

Comprehensive environmental monitoring
1. Real time collection
Air temperature and humidity, soil temperature and humidity, light intensityConcentration, voltage, current, wind speed, wind directionCO₂Record the key parameters and data every minute to form a complete environmental database.Remote device control
2. Anytime, anywhere through mobile phones or computers
Manual controlEquipment such as fans, roller blinds, water valves, and water pumps can respond to environmental changes in real-time.Intelligent offline self-control
3. The biggest highlight of the system is:
Ability to operate autonomously when disconnected from the internet. Farmers can preset production processes and control strategies, and the equipment automatically executes according to the set logic (timing, feedback, circulation, etc.), without being affected by network conditions. For example:Timed mode
- Every dayAutomatic ventilation8:00, 12:00, 16:00Analog triggering
- : Temperature exceedsAutomatically open the roller shutter, below40℃Automatic shutdown25℃4、 Intelligent working mode

The system supports multiple flexible combinations of control strategies:
Timed control mode
Multiple fixed time points can be set each day to perform specific operations, such as timed irrigation and timed ventilation, suitable for production scenarios with strong regularity.Analog trigger mode
Automatically triggered based on environmental parameter thresholds, such as opening the fan when the temperature exceeds the limit or starting the water valve when the humidity is insufficient, to achieve precise environmental regulation.Loop control mode
Repeat the operation according to the set cycle, suitable for scenarios that require intermittent control.Offline self-control mode
All strategies are pre downloaded to the local controller and run completely autonomously after network disconnection. Data is automatically transmitted after network connection.5、 Advantages of automated operation
