Abstract :
The world over the decades has made
considerable advancements in automation, automation is
employed in every sector whether it is home or industry.
Here a new and inexpensive design is being presented.
The deployment of Automation in agriculture systems has
been prevailing over the last few decades and it poses
many difficulties to manual control them once they are
installed on a large scale. A common approach to
overcoming this issue is setting up a Long-Range network
(LoRa). However, using wireless technologies in the field
of agriculture presents several technical challenges, such
as achieving long battery life, long-range capabilities as
well as low cost at the same time. In recent years, many
technologies and protocols have been deployed trying to
overcome those challenges It implies that LoRa is lately
accepted as auspicious communication technology, due to
its properties such as long-range, two-way
communication, and with low cost. It is stated that the
communication distance of LoRa is up to 10 km [1], but it
is not clear what measure does. The communication
distance is affected by the environmental conditions,
parameters of devices, etc. Here we merge the LoRa WSN
technology in the agriculture sector for making longdistance, low-cost communication. The project that is
described in this paper includes the implementation
results of both hardware and software for the wireless
nodes, and the development of a GUI app for controlling
drip irrigation systems
