Greenhouse Climate Monitor Kit with Arduino Uno + Relay
Greenhouse Climate Monitor Kit with Arduino Uno & Relay – Automate Humidity Control for Your Plants
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
From a greenhouse that needs perfect humidity to a laundry room where dry clothes mean lower bills, this kit puts climate-aware control into your hands. The centerpiece is a clever project borrowed from our own design lab: a dryer pause monitor. Place the DHT11 inside the dryer drum, and when humidity drops below 30%—signaling dry clothes—the relay cuts power to the tumbler, preventing over-drying and saving energy. But the same circuit easily becomes a greenhouse fan controller, a terrarium misting trigger, or a smart mushroom grow monitor. You build the logic, the kit does the heavy lifting.
What You'll Build
A working climate monitor that reads temperature and humidity in real time and makes a decision. The default code triggers a relay at a pre-set humidity threshold, ready to control a fan, pump, or alarm. In the dryer project, the sensor reports decreasing moisture; when it crosses that line, the relay pauses the tumbler. Inside a greenhouse, the same setup can vent hot air, start a humidifier, or actuate a shade. You’ll walk away with a physical, practical automation tool—not just a tutorial.
What You'll Learn
- Read temperature and humidity data from a DHT11 sensor and display it on your PC or an optional screen
- Write conditional logic in Arduino IDE to turn a relay ON/OFF when sensor values cross a threshold
- Interface a 5V relay module safely, understanding flyback diodes and connecting AC/DC loads
- Prototype circuits on a breadboard without soldering, then scale to a permanent project box

Who This Kit Is For
Designed for CBSE Class 11-12 students exploring home automation in their practical exams, B.Tech ECE/EEE first-years building humidity-based mini projects, Smart India Hackathon teams prototyping smart agriculture, ATL tinkering lab kids discovering IoT, and hobbyists at IIT/NIT/VIT/BITS who want a ready-to-go climate controller without hunting for components across multiple websites.
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 for the AI chat assistant trained on this kit; it can explain wiring, debug code, and suggest tweaks. You can also message us on WhatsApp for human backup during Indian business hours.
Can I use this kit to control a water pump in my greenhouse?
Absolutely. The relay can switch DC or AC loads up to 10A, so a small pump, fan, or solenoid valve fits the project perfectly. Just follow the included circuit diagram and mind the voltage ratings.
Is the dryer pause project safe for a real dryer?
The DHT11 sensor should be placed carefully away from heating elements and moving parts. The relay only interrupts the control circuit, not the main power—consult the dryer’s manual or an adult before modifying any appliance. The project is meant as a supervised learning experiment.
Do I need a computer to program the Arduino?
Yes, any Windows, Mac, or Linux machine with a USB port and the free Arduino IDE installed will work. The kit includes a USB cable for programming.
