In recent decades, considerable efforts have been devoted to process automation in agriculture. Regarding irrigation systems, this demand has found several difficulties, including the lack of communication networks and the large distances to electricity supply points. With the recent implementation of LPWAN wireless communication networks (SIGFOX, LoraWan, and NBIoT), and the expanding market of electronic controllers based on free software and hardware (i.e., Arduino, Raspberry, ESP, etc.) with low energy requirements, new perspectives have appeared for the automation of agricultural irrigation networks. This paper presents a low-cost solution for automatic cloud-based irrigation. In this paper, it is proposed the design of a node network based on microcontroller ESP32-Lora and Internet connection through SIGFOX network. The results obtained show the stability and robustness of the designed system.
近几十年来,人们在农业过程自动化方面付出了巨大努力。对于灌溉系统而言,这种需求面临诸多困难,包括缺乏通信网络以及与供电点距离较远。随着低功耗广域网(LPWAN)无线通信网络(SIGFOX、LoRaWan和窄带物联网(NBIoT))的近期实施,以及基于低能耗的自由软件和硬件(如Arduino、Raspberry、ESP等)的电子控制器市场不断扩大,农业灌溉网络自动化出现了新的前景。本文提出了一种基于云的低成本自动灌溉解决方案。本文提出了一种基于微控制器ESP32-Lora并通过SIGFOX网络进行互联网连接的节点网络设计。所获得的结果表明了所设计系统的稳定性和鲁棒性。
