    Greenhouses have long been important in the advancement of agricultural operations because they provide regulated settings for optimal plant growth. With the introduction of real-time monitoring and automation capabilities, the Internet of Things (IoT) integration into greenhouse systems represents a revolutionary change. This abstract delves into the wider field of greenhouse technology, highlighting the role that IoT plays in improving agricultural in controlled environments. Conventional greenhouses provide plants with a protected environment, but they might not be as accurate or flexible. Intelligent control of environmental conditions is made possible by the introduction of IoT-enabled greenhouses, which utilize data exchange protocols, actuators, and sensors that are networked. The project aims to elevate traditional greenhouse models by integrating Node-RED and MQTT technologies. Transitioning from a Blynk-based prototype showcases the system's versatility. Other key components, including NodeMCU, sensors for real-time data, and LED lighting, collaborate to redefine controlled environment agriculture. The Raspberry Pi serves as a central hub, facilitating seamless communication through Node-RED and MQTT. This advanced greenhouse system harmonizes cutting-edge technologies, showcasing a commitment to sophistication and adaptability in agricultural practices.
