IoT Real-Time Soil Monitoring Based on LoRa for Palm Oil Plantation

Abstract

IoT Real-Time Soil Monitoring based on LoRa for Palm Oil Plantation is a prototype that can send data to the receiver using LoRa technology. The prototype used LoRa technology because it is a long range and low-cost technology. The prototype used LoRa SX1278 and the sensors as the main components. It shows the communication between the sender and receiver of LoRa technology and notifies the user soil tilt and temperature in real time via the ThingSpeak platform. A tilt and temperature sensors must be attached at the LoRa sender. It then sends data to the LoRa receiver. As the data received by the receiver, it will then display the data using the serial monitor and also at the LoRa receiver’s OLED. This prototype is easy to use and easy to set up as the soil monitoring system. This Real-time Soil monitoring system helped the user to know the tilt and temperature readings via the ThingSpeak.
