Internet of Things (IoT) is a concept that allows physical objects with computational and sensory support to connect with each other and access services across the Internet. The IoT idea was introduced to connect devices through the Internet and facilitate access to information for users. The wide range of potential applications of IoT also includes agriculture, where extensive use of IoT is expected in the future. The aim of this work was to present the IoT concept as a basis for monitoring and control systems used in farm production processes. IoT devices play a key role, with a focus on their realization by available microcontroller platforms and appropriate sensors such as Arduino products. Autonomous sensor devices gather data within monitoring systems and participate in the control process by sending signals to the actuators. Such an IoT based system provides users with the opportunity to remotely monitor conditions and production process. This system enables users to accomplish savings in inputs, achieve cost reduction and trace the production process on the farm.
