Long range wireless LoRa (15km) soil sensor network

HideTool Concept
Stage: 
Concept
Description: 
Build a network of soil moisture sensors that report the state over long distances.
HideDocumentation
Documentation Wiki: 
  1. LoRaWan is a long range, low power network, an open source implementation of The Things Network (link is external)
  2. Using this technology solar soil moisture sensors could report the state over long distances
  3. Code for the growerbot (link is external) is already written for Arduino, So just needs hacking for LoRaWa
  4. There is a variety of hardware that could be used for this, discussed in this thread (link is external) on The Things Network forum.

The nodes could do all sorts of data reporting; water levels, item tracking etc.
