Greenhouse Climate Monitor Kit with ESP32 + BMP280
ESP32 Greenhouse Climate Monitor Kit — Capture Daily Crop Health Data with BMP280 and DHT22
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
You’ll assemble a self‑contained greenhouse monitoring station that uses an ESP32‑CAM to photograph crop leaves every 24 hours while the BMP280 and DHT22 log temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure. Images and data are stored on a microSD card with RTC timestamps—no cloud needed, just actionable local records for plant health analysis.
What You'll Build
A solar‑powered device that quietly sits inside the greenhouse, snapping high‑resolution JPEGs of your plants at a scheduled time each day. A single CSV file on the SD card pairs each image’s filename with the exact environmental conditions at capture, giving you a continuous, offline time‑series of crop response.
What You'll Learn
- Integrate an ESP32‑CAM module with BMP280, DHT22, and DS3231 RTC over I²C
- Design a 18650‑based solar charging circuit using a TP4056 and LM2596 buck converter
- Write Arduino sketch to trigger timed photography, read sensors, and log to FAT32 SD card
- Solder a complete functional prototype on PCB and install it in a waterproof enclosure

Who This Kit Is For
Ideal for B.Tech ECE/EEE students executing agricultural IoT capstone projects, Smart India Hackathon teams prototyping precision farming tools, and researchers at IIT/NIT/VIT/BITS exploring low‑cost greenhouse automation. CBSE Class 12 students with prior microcontroller experience will find it a challenging, real‑world extension of their curriculum.
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 on the box to launch the AI companion, which knows every wire and line of code in this project. WhatsApp support is also available within 2 hours on working days.
Does the kit include soldering tools?
Yes, a soldering iron and solder wire are included. You will need to solder headers, connections, and the power circuit—practice is expected at this advanced level.
Can the system run without the solar panel?
The solar panel charges the 18650 cells for continuous outdoor autonomy. You can power the circuit via USB while programming or testing indoors, but sustained greenhouse use requires the solar setup.
Is the enclosure truly waterproof for a humid greenhouse?
The provided IP65 enclosure seals out moisture and condensation when properly closed. Silicone grommets and cable glands (not included) are recommended for sensor wires if drilling is needed.
Greenhouse — ESP32-CAM photographs crop leaves daily. BMP280 and DHT22 provide environmental context. Stored on SD.
