Monitoramento ambiental em videiras utilizando LoraWAN

Abstract

Monitoring environmental conditions (temperature and humidity) in vine growing areas in real time is a challenge, as conventional wireless communication methods become unfeasible due to the limited range. In this scenario, the LoRaWAN protocol, inserted in the context of the Internet of Things (IoT), emerges as a viable solution for data collection and analysis. To make this idea viable, we employ LoRa, Arduino/ESP32 modules and temperature and humidity sensors (DHT22), which constantly send data to a remote server, where it can be accessed via the web. In this way, it becomes possible to monitor environmental variables in real time, ensuring precise vineyard management and the prevention of fungal diseases such as downy mildew, powdery mildew, anthracnose and gray rot.
