The development of wireless sensor network technologies has opened up new opportunities for monitoring and controlling greenhouse parameters in precision agriculture. Over the past decades, significant advances in agricultural technology have been made, which has contributed to higher yields. With the uneven natural distribution of rainwater, it is important for farmers to ensure that water is distributed evenly to all crops on the farm or according to the needs of individual crops. There is no one-size-fits-all irrigation method that is suitable for all weather conditions, soil types, and different crops.

Greenhouse technologies can be the best solution to this problem. Choosing the right method requires a detailed analysis of all greenhouse parameters. Farmers often face large financial losses due to incorrect weather forecasting and the wrong method of irrigating crops.

The aim of the study is to create conditions for increasing the efficiency of growing vegetables in greenhouses by introducing highly integrated systems for control, monitoring, management and automation of production processes. This involves the development of a structural diagram of a mechatronic smart system for monitoring and dispatching technological processes.

As a result of the research, a flowchart for automated greenhouse control was developed. In this scheme, the adaptation unit, based on the obtained values of environmental parameters, compares them with the standard values. If deviations are detected, the system sends information signals to adjust the agroclimatic conditions by activating the appropriate actuators - humidifiers, lighting lamps, internal irrigation and heating systems.
