Monitoramento de índices de umidade de solos utilizando rede de LoRa

Abstract

This work presents the viability of implementing the LoRa network and its LoRaWAN protocol for communication between field sensors applied in a soil moisture monitoring system. It was made a bibliographic review on the evolution of precision agriculture, the use of electronic devices in order to reduce and optimize costs farm production, definition of the IoT (Internet of Things), LoRa technology and LoRaWAN protocol and their applications in wireless sensor networks used for monitoring variables that directly or indirectly influence in agricultural production. Based on articles and related works, a remote monitoring system was developed that where it is possible to check variations of the humidity index in real time, information that helps in decision make in the agricultural environment.
