LoRa PLAN

System Architecture

LoRa PLAN

Objectives

  • Available
  • Reliable

Devices

  • VPS x1
  • Gateway(Raspberry Pi / NodeMCU) x1
  • ..LoRa Module x3

Features

  • Cost: around ¥600 except Sensors and Raspberry Pi
  • Ground Sensor Nodes Low Power
  • Air Sensor Node Low Power
  • Simple Network Topology
  • Provide HTTP and WebSocket API, Easy to support a Website/App Demo Page
  • The Sensor unit are flexible to move
  • Security and Privacy

Shortages

  • Cost a lot
  • Need to learn a lot about LoRa
  • The water pump is not wireless, not so convinence
  • Waterproof still need to be solved

Fake LoRa PLAN

System Architecture

LoRa PLAN

Objectives

  • Available
  • Reliable

Devices

  • VPS x1
  • Gateway(Raspberry Pi / NodeMCU) x1
  • ..SI4438 x5
  • ..MCU(Nano / STM32 / NodeMCU) x2
  • Low Power MCU (LPMCU) x2

Features

  • Cost: around ¥300 except Sensors and Raspberry Pi

  • Simple Network Topology
  • Provide HTTP and WebSocket API, Easy to support a Website/App Demo Page
  • Both the Water Pump unit and the Sensor unit are flexible to move
  • Easy to dev

Shortages

  • There maybe noise in 433MHz as it is an open frequency
  • The security and privacy are hard to guarantee
  • Waterproof still need to be solved

Other Materials

MCUs for Low Power Purpose

  • Arduino Nano (Remove micro USB Module and LED)
  • Arduino Pro Mini (Remove LED)
