This soil moisture sensor is based capacitive sensing, it features:
This LoRa Soil Moisture detects the soil moisture status and transmit the data via LoRa P2P to LoRa Receiver( on your room desk), so user can monitor the field status or have them recorded for long-term analyze, or via LoRa 4G gateway to server for cloud monitoring.
Makerfabs has plenty of Soil Moisture sensors , Please check here for the Comparation.
LoRaWAN is good,but sometimes you do not need LoRaWAN, or it difficult/expansive to implement a LoRaWAN network, not to mention the cloud. From example, monitoring your backyard soil humility, or monitoring the status in your farm greenhouse. Actually, Makerfabs think that in these applications, a simple LoRa P2P make the story easy/convenient, that is way we developed the SenseLora products.
Usage:
Option 1:Monitor + SenseLoRa_LoRa Receiver---Plug-n-Play.
The Lora receiver work with SenseLora modules, it receive LoRa signal around and forward to computer, so the data can be display/record/analyze on PC.
Receiver detail and features can be found in SenseLoRa_LoRa Receiver
Option 2:Monitor + SenseLoRa_4G LTE CAT1 Gateway---Flexible data transmission.
The 4G LTE CAT1 Gateway work with SenseLora modules, it get the LoRa data and then transmit the data via 4G to cloud server such as TTN, or the monitors phone with SMS.
