ESP32 Canadian FWI Greenhouse Fire Risk Kit - SMS Alerts
Build an ESP32 Greenhouse Fire Risk Alert System Using the Canadian FWI Model
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Build a real-time greenhouse monitoring station that calculates wildfire risk using the Canadian Forest Fire Weather Index (FWI) - the same model used by professionals. This Advanced kit integrates temperature, humidity, wind speed, and soil moisture to feed the FWI algorithm, delivering warnings on an OLED display and via SMS when conditions approach extreme danger. Ideal for agricultural researchers, horticulturists managing high-value crops, and IoT engineers building robust environmental monitoring solutions.
What You'll Build
A fully functional greenhouse fire risk assessment station that continuously reads soil moisture from two probes, air temperature and humidity from dual DHT22 sensors, and wind speed via a Hall-effect sensor. The ESP32 runs the Canadian FWI computation, displaying current indices on a crisp OLED screen. When risk spikes to extreme level, an SMS alert is sent via the SIM800L GSM module, giving you time to act before conditions escalate.
What You'll Learn
- Implementing the Canadian FWI calculation on an ESP32 microcontroller.
- Calibrating and multiplexing multiple soil moisture and environmental sensors.
- Configuring GSM-based SMS alerts for real-time extreme risk notification.
- Designing a low-power, battery-operated system with RTC and deep-sleep modes.

Who This Kit Is For
This advanced kit is designed for agricultural researchers evaluating wildfire risk in controlled environments, B.Tech ECE/EEE students tackling precision agriculture challenges, and IoT engineers building robust agri-tech solutions. It's also ideal for greenhouse operators managing high-value crops where microclimate data must trigger urgent alerts - a perfect fit for Smart India Hackathon projects and research at institutions like ICAR, IITs, or NITs.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project - accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Scan the QR code to access the AI build companion trained on this FWI greenhouse monitor project. If you need human help, send a WhatsApp message and our engineers will guide you step by step.
Can this kit be used outdoors in Indian monsoon conditions?
Yes, the waterproof enclosure protects the electronics, and the soil sensors are corrosion-resistant. Keep the SIM800L antenna sheltered to maintain GSM signal.
Does the FWI model work for Indian conditions? It's Canadian.
The Canadian FWI is widely used internationally; the same physical principles apply. The kit lets you calibrate thresholds to local conditions, and the code is fully hackable.
How do I power this remotely if there is no outlet?
The kit includes two 18650 lithium cells and a buck converter for efficient regulation. With deep-sleep RTC wake-ups, you can run for weeks on one charge, ideal for remote greenhouse sites.
Greenhouse - Temperature, humidity, wind speed and soil moisture feed into Canadian FWI model. Display and SMS alert when risk is extreme.
