A greenhouse weather station is a vital component of modern smart agriculture. It enables real-time monitoring of critical environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity, light intensity, wind speed, and carbon dioxide concentration. Accurate data supports precision farming and efficient agricultural decision-making. To ensure stable operation and data accuracy, installation and commissioning must be executed with precision. Below is a standardized guide for installing and configuring a greenhouse weather station.
The station should be placed where it can accurately reflect the overall environmental conditions of the greenhouse.
Avoid installation near heat sources, ventilation outlets, or localized microclimates.
The site must be clear of obstructions such as trees, buildings, or power poles that may interfere with data accuracy.
Keep a minimum of 10 meters away from power poles.
Stay at least 30 meters away from roads to avoid interference from traffic.
Maintain a distance of at least 100 meters from electrified railways to prevent electromagnetic interference.
The surroundings should be open and unobstructed. Ensure the wind vane’s south point aligns with true geographic south.
Verify all packaging is intact and that accessories are complete (sensors, brackets, power modules, manuals, etc.).
Ensure all components are undamaged and clearly labeled with identification numbers.
Typical sensors include temperature, humidity, solar radiation, wind speed and direction, rainfall, and CO₂ sensors.
Mount each sensor firmly on the bracket. Follow the manufacturer's installation angle and orientation guidelines to ensure measurement accuracy.
Secure solar panels or power cables properly to ensure stable power supply in all weather conditions.
Supported options include wired (e.g., RS485), wireless (e.g., 4G, LoRa, WiFi), or hybrid systems.
Choose based on local network coverage, distance, and security needs.
Ensure all cables or wireless modules are correctly connected and firmly attached.
Confirm the data logger is communicating with the cloud platform, local server, or mobile terminal as required.
Power on the system and check if all sensors are recognized and data updates in real-time.
Set the data collection frequency and upload interval (e.g., every 1 minute).
Perform a manual data upload and verify the data appears correctly on the platform.
Use certified instruments to calibrate temperature, humidity, light, and CO₂ sensors.
Place wind sensors in an open environment during setup to ensure accurate response.
Run the system continuously for at least 48 hours to detect potential issues such as data loss, fluctuations, or system crashes.
Check the power system for consistent operation and verify the solar panel can charge adequately.
Set environmental thresholds (e.g., temperature above 35°C or CO₂ above 1000 ppm) to trigger automatic alerts.
Test the visual and audio alarm system or remote notification functions for correct operation.
Inspect equipment monthly; clean sensor surfaces to remove dust, debris, or spider webs.
Conduct a comprehensive calibration every six months to prevent data drift.
Back up meteorological data regularly to ensure security.
Monitor the stability of power and network systems to prevent data interruption.
Randomly test sensor performance periodically. Replace any sensor showing delayed response or inconsistency.
The system should support dual data backup: local storage and cloud synchronization, reducing risk of data loss due to connectivity issues.
Integrate with agricultural analysis platforms for generating graphs, historical trend reviews, and early warnings.
Use data insights to optimize irrigation, ventilation, pest prediction, and other smart farming strategies.
Installation must be conducted by experienced professionals. It is not recommended for untrained personnel.
Technicians should be familiar with electrical safety standards and sensor layout protocols, and possess basic knowledge of data communication.
Before installation, consult the equipment supplier or certified service team for remote or on-site guidance.
In case of device failure, quick technical response is essential to prevent data loss and operational delays.
Strictly follow electrical safety and working-at-height protocols throughout the installation.
Ensure the power system complies with local electrical standards to avoid risks like short circuits or overvoltage.
For international installations, confirm compliance with local communication regulations and environmental monitoring policies.
By following the above procedures for installation and commissioning, the greenhouse weather station will operate efficiently and deliver accurate data to support sustainable, smart agriculture.
