The cultivation of Pleurotus sp. offers an alternative to take advantage of lignocellulosic residues generated by agricultural activity and, at the same time, obtain a food of nutritional interest. In rural communities, one of the difficulties in maintaining production is the monitoring of variables such as temperature, humidity and CO₂ concentration, particularly when handling is carried out manually. Based on this problem, the present work aimed to design a technological architecture for the monitoring of the production conditions of Pleurotus sp. in Temascalapa, State of Mexico. The proposal integrates environmental sensors, an ESP32 microcontroller, LoRa communication, a platform for data visualization and power supply through photovoltaic energy. The development included the diagnosis of the study area, the identification of the crop requirements, the selection of electronic components and the design of the IoT architecture. As an experimental background, cultures were carried out in 20 L containers using lignocellulosic residues from the region, with an approximate production of 3 kg of fresh mushroom per unit. These tests were carried out before incorporating automation and allowed the identification of relevant variables for the design of the monitoring system. The proposal obtained constitutes a first stage of technological development; its physical integration and validation during complete production cycles correspond to later stages of the project.
