I built (or modified) this tool
No votes have been submitted yet.

  1. LoRaWan is a long range, low power network, an open source implementation of The Things Network
  2. Using this technology solar soil moisture sensors could report the state over long distances
  3. Code for the growerbot 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 on The Things Network forum.

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