The objective of this work was to develop an innovative LoRa-based platform that provides a low-cost and customizable solution for real-time monitoring of soil parameters. The system architecture was based on four levels: environmental (rural), sensors and actuators, communication network, and application, with the code made available for operation. The collected data were transmitted to data collection points using LoRa technology. The application level allowed for data storage, analysis, and visualization, enabling end-users to remotely monitor and control environmental measurement operations. With LoRa technology range tests, results indicated the capability to cover a maximum area between 95 and 120 hectares in the studied areas. Additionally, the collected data were sent to ThingSpeak.com and a mobile application called Thingsview. This demonstrated the efficiency and viability of LoRa technology for industrial communication sensor and IoT applications in rural environments, offering automation, increased efficiency, and savings in human resources for environmental monitoring tasks.
El objetivo de este trabajo fue desarrollar una innovadora plataforma basada en LoRa que proporciona una solución económica y personalizable para la monitorización en tiempo real de parámetros del suelo. La arquitectura del sistema se basó en cuatro niveles: ambiental (rural), sensores y actuadores, red de comunicación y aplicación, con el código disponible para su funcionamiento. Los datos recopilados se transmitieron a puntos de recopilación de datos mediante la tecnología LoRa. El nivel de aplicación permitió el almacenamiento, análisis y visualización de datos, lo que permitió a los usuarios finales supervisar y controlar de forma remota las operaciones de medición ambiental. Con pruebas de alcance de tecnología LoRa, los resultados indicaron la capacidad de cubrir un área máxima de entre 95 y 120 hectáreas en las áreas estudiadas. Además, los datos recopilados se enviaron a ThingSpeak.com y a una aplicación móvil llamada Thingsview. Esto demostró la eficiencia y viabilidad de la tecnología LoRa para aplicaciones de sensores de comunicación industrial e IoT en entornos rurales, ofreciendo automatización, mayor eficiencia y ahorros en recursos humanos para tareas de monitorización ambiental.
