Implementation of greenhouse service control protocol using Python on Raspberry PI

ICT technology is widely applied to various industries including agriculture. In the agricultural sector, most of the devices and greenhouses still use very old serial communication technologies. Nowadays, many ICT technologies such as ZigBee, Bluetooth and the Internet are spreading but still not interoperable. A set of standards is under development in Korea to ensure interoperability between different vendors. In particular, core interoperability can be provided by standardizing the LCP protocol independent of the underlying network infrastructure. In this paper, we designed service control protocol based on LCP protocol and implemented it using Python. We have deployed the implementation to Raspberry PI with actual physical devices.
