The aim of this work is to create an artificial environment LED based for plants where the goal is to control LED lighting and monitor plant growth. This will contribute on issue like food production. This work involves the use of a web development microcontroller kit, which will help to make online or IoT (Internet of Things) project and design easy. The microcontroller will come with an integrated Wi-Fi to collect and control variable parameter and also programming language to develop graphical user interface (GUI). It is expected that the plant growth environment can be monitored and controlled or set through cloud via Wi-Fi on the board. Multicolour light emitting diode (LED) lamps are used. This system will improve the performance of available plant growth area where it will become more flexible in term of providing artificial environment with a better supervision.
