Abstract: In response to the complex wired transmission wiring issue in the current greenhouse environment monitoring systems in China, this paper presents a greenhouse environment monitoring system based on a web server architecture. The system utilized the wireless radio frequency technology of nRF24L01 for data transmission, established a web server, and developed a monitoring system web page. The Kalman filtering algorithm was applied for data denoising, which satisfies the requirement of remote real-time monitoring from multiple clients. The system architecture mainly consisted of the environmental information perception layer, transmission layer, and application layer, enabling functions such as greenhouse data collection, real-time data display, alarm notifications, real-time monitoring, data storage, and historical data queries. The maximum packet loss rate was 5.9 %, indicating good communication quality and reliability of the system. This research provides theoretical reference and practical value for information monitoring in environments such as greenhouses and plant factories.
