    Abstract


    The paper presents an integrated wireless sensing system for monitoring environmental parameters, including temperature, relative humidity, and light intensity in mushroom houses. The developed system not only collects spatial environmental data but also enables end-users to remotely observe them via smart devices. Assembly of five sensornodes with a wireless sensor network was used to  gather data. The results have shown relatively accurate measurements in terms of environmental parameters. The system is low cost, simple and easy to operate by displaying the native language in interface monitoring software. Therefore, the generated system should be applied in monitoring air temperature, humidity, and light intensity in mushroom houses. Additionally, this study has provided good opportunities for Vietnamese farmers to approach the high technology application in agriculture.
