Crop Monitoring System is a light intensity based used to control the devices and monitor the crops. Most of the time to differentiate between day and night time, measuring light from sun light is essential. Where, light measurement and analysis is an important step in ensuring efficiency and safety. Plant growth in farming is purely dependent on light intensity falling on the top of canopy. This introduces real time remote. Light intensity monitoring system using Raspberry Pi which enables the user to track the lighting system in green house remotely for improving plant growth. The main feature of this system is instantaneous light intensity monitoring and data storage in the database on the cloud for future use in any internet enabled device. This facilitates experts to take right decision at right time to obtain desired results in plant growth. All the detailed architecture of software and information will be described in this paper. Keywords: Internet of Things, Raspberry Pi, Relay, Wi-Fi Modem, Wireless Sensor Network. I. INTRODUCTION A wireless sensor network is composed of spatially distributed nodes equipped with sensing device to monitor and to measure characteristics of the physical environment at different location. WSNs are designed and deployed for different purposes by various organizations. WSN based monitoring application ranges from simple data gathering, to complex Internet-based information systems. Accurate and quantifiable measurement of light is essential in creating desired outcomes in practical day to day applications as well as unique applications such as Traffic lighting system, Poultry Industry , Gardening , Museum lighting system , at emergency exists etc. Hence light measurement and analysis is an important step in ensuring efficiency and safety. Many of the industries are burdened with limited number of resources and real shortage of experts on their fields real time remote monitoring presents an effective solution that minimizes their efforts and expenditures to achieve the desired results within time. We aim to have a real time remote light intensity monitoring system using Raspberry Pi which enables the user to track the lighting system remotely. Raspberry Pi is a low cost ARM powered Linux based computer which acts as a server, and it communicates with clients with LAN or external Wi-Fi module. The key feature of this system is light intensity being monitored instantaneously and data stored in the database for future use, and shown in the form of dynamic charts of the user according to the user requirement in a terminal device like
