This paper proposes a prototype for a smart farming system intended for integration into traditional greenhouses, transforming them into automated environments. Utilizing Internet of Things (IoT) technology, the system dynamically adjusts the conditions to optimize the growth of vegetables. The research methodology consists of seven sequential steps: (1) Exploring possibilities through study and analysis, (2) gathering information on the cultivation of vegetables, (3) designing and developing the prototype system, (4) installing the system in an experimental greenhouse, (5) conducting experiments to observe vegetable growth, (6) collecting data on vegetable growth in the experimental greenhouse, and (7) modifying and enhancing the system based on the collected information. The results indicate that the smart farming system prototype is effective for cultivating Green Oak lettuce. When compared to a non-smart farming system, the average results show significant improvements: canopy width increased by 10.59%, plant height by 11.42%, trunk width by 23.60%, and root length by 14.37%.
