= Project presentation =



The project subject : Serres connectées.

The project consist of upgrading a classic greenhouse to retrieve live information about its climate. The farm exploitation is located in Saint-Cassien (38500), in the French Alps.

Data to retrieve :
 * Air temperature
 * Air moisture
 * Soil moisture

Control of these parameters are essentials to avoid disease, enhance the growth of the plantations and limit water consumption.

Two main constrains :
 * No power in the zone
 * Sensors needs to be moveable to let vehicles move along the greenhouse
