Greenhouse

This project is a student project at Polytech Grenoble about solar-powered greenhouse. Polytech Grenoble is an engineering school teaching computer science, embedded systems and electronics among other disciplines. The urban agriculture aims to answer future challenges: reduction of the cultivated area, green economy, carbon footprint for transport of goods, self-production towards alimentary self-sufficiency of cities. This production mean takes into account the constraints of the cities, where the surfaces are limited and expensive, by using vertical farming. An aquaponic system with fishes will provide nutriments for the plants. Finally, to irrigate the plants with the water from the fish tank, an irrigation system will be used. It will be powered by solar-energy with a battery pack.

Urban agriculture around the world

Similar experiments are performed abroad : New-York[1], Montréal[2]. In France, large cities are also interested as Paris[3] or Lyon[4], with the support of universities, or local public administration. In the Grenoble area, a civil group « Cultivons nos toits »[5] experiments on top of a fablab building.

We are interested in several measurements useful for the greenhouses:

  • Solar energy production and energy stored in the batteries,
  • Oxygenation, pH, and oxidation-reduction potential of the fish tank water,
  • Temperature of the fish tank water,
  • Temperature of the air, both inside and outside of the greenhouse,
  • Humidity of the air, both inside and outside of the greenhouse,
  • Intrusion detection and presence.
  • NFC identification


These measurements will be helpful to monitor the greenhouse, and will be used to take control decisions on:

  • Triggering alarms to feed the fishes
  • Feeding the plants and possibly adding nutriments
  • Switch the ventilation to control humidity and temperature






Long-range communication technologies on ISM bands

LoRa and SigFox are the two leading communication technologies for Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWAN) on free-licensed ISM bands (433MHz and 868MHz in Europe, 915 MHz in US/CA/MX, ...). LoRa and Sigfox enable communication over several kilometers (Line of Sight and Non Line of Sight) with low-power consumptions and long battery lifetime (several years with 2 AAA batteries). Therefore, the typical network topology is the star topology : all endpoints transmit data to (resp. receive data from) one or several gateways. Ten gateways are enough to cover a city of 1 million inhabitants. Moreover, LoRa can leverage private networks. LoRa gateways manage up to 49 LoRA channels and cost 500 - 1000 € /per unit. However, LoRa allows to build DIY Pico-gateways with ESP8266 or RPi-0 for instance starting at 40 € (including antenna and enclosure). Pico-gateways manage only one channel, but that's would be enough for a small private LPWAN.

Goal of the project

The goal of the project is to design LoRaWAN and SigFox endpoints and pico-gateways for monitoring real-life greenhouses for organic and auto-production agriculture.

The four deliverables are:

  • The design of LoRa and SigFox endpoints (HW/SW),
  • The design of a LoRa pico-gateway (HW/SW) based on SX1272 or SX1308 (if available on time),
  • The design of a monitoring back-end with alarms,
  • The design of data visualization UI and mobile applications.

These deliverables will designed by the Polytech Grenoble students in computer science, embedded systems, and electronics.


These designs will be released as open-source software, open-hardware, and open-design into the Eclipse IoT community.
