Context
For an agricultural greenhouse, irrigation is essential to maintain optimal humidity levels and ensure healthy plant growth. However, excessive or inefficient use of water can lead to high costs and waste. To solve this problem, it is crucial to have a reliable and accurate water measurement system.
Use a LoRaWAN network with Sparwan
LoRaWAN is designed for data collection and management. To manage your water consumption, you will only need three things:
- A Milesight LoRaWAN gateway
- An EM300-DI pulse counter sensor
- Milesight IoT Cloud
Monitoring using Milesight Cloud
Milesight IoT Cloud offers a comprehensive monitoring solution that makes it easy to create dashboards and configure alerts. In addition, this solution is equipped with a mobile application to allow you to be notified at any time.
All sensor data will be processed on Milesight IoT Cloud for this application.
Milesight IoT Cloud also allows you to configure alerts, to warn you when your water consumption exceeds your limit or, in the case of a greenhouse, if the temperature is too high, to activate watering in order to maintain good irrigation.
An accessible and free solution
Since LoRaWAN is very open, it remains possible to use other monitoring tools such as Thingsboard or TagoIO , or to add new sensors very simply for new needs.
