This paper is dedicated to the development of a unified system for monitoring microclimate parameters in the terrariums of the Kyiv Zoo. In cooperation with zoo representatives, existing methods and devices for artificially creating a microclimate in exhibition modules were reviewed and analyzed. The issues of this process were examined, and the main parameters for animal housing conditions were determined, such as air or water temperature, humidity, illumination, and the level of ultraviolet radiation. Six exhibition modules were selected for experimental studies. Based on the research and familiarization, a structural diagram of the information-measuring system for microclimate control for the first module was developed, describing the system's operation principle and functionality. Appropriate sensors that meet the set tasks were selected, as well as the necessary actuators for the exhibition module. The advantages and disadvantages of the system were presented in the conclusion.
