Abstract

The adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies in agriculture has emerged as a strategic approach to enhance productivity, reduce resource wastage, and promote sustainable farming practices. This study presents the design and implementation of an IoT-based plant monitoring system powered by solar energy and enabled with Long Range (LoRa) communication technology. The system addresses the limitations of traditional plant monitoring methods, which often lack precision, require high manual effort, and result in inefficient use of resources. The proposed solution integrates sensors to measure soil moisture, temperature, humidity, and light intensity, with collected data transmitted via LoRa to a centralized platform. Solar energy is employed to ensure autonomous, continuous operation in remote or off-grid locations. The findings highlight the potential of combining solar power and LoRa-based IoT networks to deliver cost-effective, scalable, and energy-efficient monitoring solutions.
