In this paper, a dual stage cascade controller PI-(1+PD) is adopted to maintain and control temperature in greenhouse environment based on a smart and intelligent gorilla troops optimization (GTO) method for evaluating the controller gains to enhance the system response by reducing the error value and minimize the integral time absolute error (ITAE) fitness functions during simulation. The simulation results are obtained by using MATLAB 2019, then compared with two conventional controllers proportional integral derivative (PI and PID) based on evaluation parameters for all controllers in term of peak time, rise time, settling time and overshoot to show its efficient response if compared with other controllers used.
