Inteligence Agriculture based on LoRaWAN®

1. Introduction

exa-agri-arch

This solution shows how to create an agriculture monitor node. The monitor node measures pH conductivity, air temperature, air humidity, photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), soil conductivity, soil humidity and wind speed from a agriculture sensor system with a RS485 interface. It then transmits this data frequently over LoRaWan® to a LoRaWan® server.

At the LoRaWan® server the data arrives in the following format

Byte1 Byte2 Byte3 Byte4 Byte5 Byte6 Byte7
8 PAR1 PAR2 PH1 PH2 CON1 CON2
Byte8 Byte9 Byte10 Byte11 Byte12 Byte13
T1 T2 H1 H2 S1 S2
where
  • Byte 1 is a marker for the data type, here always 8
  • PAR is sent as PAR1PAR2 e.g. 1009 PAR (would be 0x03 0xF1 in the data package)
  • pH value is sent as PH1PH2 e.g. 45 (would be 0x00 0x2D in the data package)
  • Soil conductivity is sent as CON1CON2 e.g. 0945 (would be 0x03 0xB1 in the data package)
  • Temperature is sent as T1.T2 e.g. 23.45 C
  • Humidity is sent as H1.H2 e.g. 74.12 % rel
  • Wind speed is sent as S1.S2 e.g. 54.03 m/s

Attention

If this examples is implemented for the Region US915, DR0 cannot be used because the package size is too large to fit into the allowed payload.

2. Hardware required

To build this system, the following hardware are required:

WisBlock Base RAK5005-O * 1pcs

WisBlock Core RAK4631 * 1pcs

WisBlock IO RAK5802 * 1pcs

JXBS-3001-FS * 1pcs

JXBS-3001-PH-RS * 1pcs

JXBS-3001-EC-RS-4 * 1pcs

JXBS-3001-GHFS * 1pcs

4-Port RS-485 HUB * 1pcs

Note: To send the data of sensor node to LoRaWan® server, a LoRaWan® gateway is >also needed. If you don't have, we recommend you use RAK7243.
