LoRa based IoT Smart Irrigation System with ESP8266 & Blynk 2.0

In this tutorial, you will learn how to make a LoRa based IoT Smart Agriculture Monitoring and Automatic Irrigation System using ESP8266 NodeMCU, Arduino Nano, and the new Blynk IoT 2.0 platform.

 

Overview: LoRa based IoT Smart Irrigation & Monitoring System

 

Here on the sensor node, we will use the Arduino Nano board and SX1278 LoRa-02 Transceiver module. Then we will interface multiple sensors like capacitive soil moisture sensor v1.2 to measure the quantity of water present in the soil. DS18B20 waterproof temperature sensor to measure the temperature of the soil. Similarly, In the cold season plants die due to fog and low temperature. Thus, DHT11/DHT22 Temperature & Humidity sensor is used to measure the temperature and humidity of surroundings. A 5V Single channel relay module and water Pump are used for an automatic irrigation system.

 

Previously, I had made an IoT Smart Agriculture Monitoring & Irrigation System. But, the area where I was working do not have WiFi Signals. My home is around 700/800 Meters away from the agricultural field. So, I couldn't receive any WiFi signals there. Hence, I cannot monitor and control this device over the internet.

 

As said, "when there's a will there's a way". I found these SX1278 LoRa transceiver modules laying around. So, I decided to use Arduino Nano, Capacitive soil moisture sensor, DHT22 sensor, DS18B20 sensor, 5 Volt relay, DC Water Pump, and SX1278 LoRa-02 module on the transmitter side.
