Abstract: A low power wireless sensor network based on ZigBee protocol is presented, for agricultural applications. Bidirectional communication is used to allow parameterization of data sampling rate. The end devices, which incorporate humidity sensors, propa-gate data over long distances to the coordinator which in turns transfers this data to a personal computer for illustration and control of the water flow to the plants within a greenhouse. The algorithm developed is focused on reducing data packets loss and the circuitry used is aiming low power consumption and longevity. Extensive experiments have been carried out in real environment to examine data packets loss under different operating environments as well as for various numbers of end devices/sensors. Finally, the reliability of the wireless sensor network has been investigated in the case of adjacent greenhouses.
