LoRa based Wireless Weather Station

Abstract

In this Project we develop a prototype of “LoRa Based Wireless Weather Station”. Where LoRa is a wireless network technology supporting the internet of things (IoT) system. This technology is an elective to other wireless network modules that have already been well known such as GSM modules, Wi-Fi Modules and Bluetooth Modules. The utilize of the LoRa network serves to increase the range of wireless cells that can reach distances of up to 8 kilometres whereas still having low power utilization. Weather parameters that we are measured in this project are Temperature, Pressure, Dew point, Altitude, Rainfall, Humidity and Light Intensity. In this prototype we use Arduino UNO, Barometric Sensor, Rain Sensor, Light Intensity Sensor and LoRa modules. And Thingspeak Web application for sharing data to the users. This system has the potential to be executed in urban and rural zones with different sorts of sensors associated to it. This project can be overseen to form a Low Power-Wide Area Network as a more extensive sensor network.
