In many agricultural and environmental settings, accurate temperature monitoring is critical for plant health and productivity. Traditional wireless sensors often struggle with distance or obstructions, limiting their effectiveness. This project demonstrates a practical solution using LoRa technology to reliably send data from a greenhouse across a medium-range distance.
Battery efficiency is a key challenge for remote sensors. By leveraging the Nordic PPK2, this thermometer minimizes power consumption, extending operational time while maintaining reliable performance. Ongoing work focuses on fine-tuning radio settings to balance signal quality with energy efficiency.
The project is fully open-source, allowing students and makers to replicate, adapt, and improve the design. It provides a hands-on example of integrating embedded systems, wireless communication, and low-power design in a real-world scenario.
