Abstract
The Internet of Things (IoT) and horticulture lighting systems may improve plant growth and agricultural operations. The variation in the light spectrum, intensities, and durations affect plant physiological systems. The proposed system can dynamically adjust and control lighting settings using real-time sensor data by seamlessly integrating IoT capabilities. These sensors carefully track plant health, ambient conditions, and energy use. This dynamic feedback system allows operators to make informed choices and adjust lighting techniques for optimum growth, yields, and resource use. Plant growth and resource efficiency benefit from light parameter improvement. The connection between IoT and horticulture lighting leads to sustainable agriculture that maximizes agricultural yields and energy efficiency. Moving from static to adaptive lighting systems represents a paradigm change in agriculture, as data-driven decisions enable precision farming. Combining IoT’s real-time abilities with horticulture lighting systems promises unique yields, energy savings, and sustainable agriculture practices.
