Abstract—This paper explains the design and implementation of electronic system based on GSM (Global System for Mobile communication) for controlling the climate parameters by SMS (Short message Service) in greenhouse. The main purpose of this system conception is the remote control of the climatic parameters that influences the production in greenhouse (Temperature, relative humidity of air and soil moisture). Several sensors and actuators are installed and connected to a management and acquisition card. These sensors provide relevant information that are used to control ventilation, heating and pump by SMS. The procedure used in our system provides the owner with a remote control avoiding the need to perform the control actions on site. The developed system in this paper is ideally suited for agricultural greenhouses in Morocco. It is simple to be installed and easy to use by farmers who do not have knowledge in computer skills. Besides, most people use their cell phones to communicate and send messages. Thus, in our system, with a simple message, all farmers can control their greenhouses from a distance. They can know the status of their greenhouse climate at any time (temperature, humidity...) and can control actuators to adjust these parameters (fan, heater, vent, drip irrigation...). Thus, we have developed a supervision interface using visual basic integrating algorithms dedicated to analogue controls.
