Build a greenhouse with Arduino

What is a greenhouse?  How do you think technology can improve greenhouses? Do you think that a greenhouse can be controlled by a computer to optimise the conditions for plant growth? In a greenhouse, plants requiring regulated climatic conditions are grown. Temperature, humidity and light are some important measurements to take when cultivating a specific crop? Our challenge: Lets build a greenhouse and the control system to set and keep the optimal climate conditions in terms of temperature and humidity and cultivate some tropical crops. Optimal climate conditions temperature: between 25-30ºC humidity : 50-60% If the temperature and humidity sensors register a value out of these ranges, the Arduino board should trigger an alarm (the led will light) to let us know that some actions are needed (we might need to activate the heating or watering system) After restoring the temperature and humidity values, the led should be turned off.
