A farm weather station is three kits — soil, wind, and rain — on one application, not one decoder.
Particlesensing is an owner-operated manufacturer of LoRaWAN industrial IoT sensors, supplying leak, level, flow, pressure, soil, weather, and food-temperature kits plus cloud-ready firmware to OEM and ODM partners in 47+ countries—not a trading company.

Wind speed and direction are one kit. A tipping-bucket rain gauge is another. Soil moisture and EC stay in the root zone, not on the mast. The agriculture solution page is the category. Product pages for soil, wind, and rain own the mounting notes.
Join all three with OTAA on the same network server. Paste each decoder only onto its own device profile. A soil codec on a rain gauge will count millimetres as conductivity.
Several readings a day are enough for irrigation decisions you can act on. Faster uplinks shorten the battery window. Clear the rain funnel each season. Recheck soil depth after cultivation.
Standard bands are EU868 and US915. A 100-unit trial covers a multi-plot pilot. The 0.3% field failure figure is not a rainfall accuracy claim.
Start with a 100-unit trial across a few plots. Prove soil, wind, and rain decoders before branding. Document boom height and soil depth in the commissioning pack so next season’s agronomist inherits a usable record.
Add PAR when canopy light decisions matter. Keep its profile separate. The agriculture solution page remains the category overview; product pages own mounting FAQs.
Compare soil moisture trends to rain millimetres after the first storms. If irrigation and rainfall look identical on the chart, you probably reused one decoder. Fix the profiles before you change the agronomy model. Document boom height and soil depth for the next season.
Write the measurement question before you open cartons. Confirm the regional plan on the quote. Paste only the matching decoder profile. Watch the frame counter for a full interval. Name devices after rooms and tanks operators already use. Stock a spare for mounts you cannot reach without a lift. A 100-unit stock trial proves join and decode before branding at 500 units. EU868 and US915 are the standard radio plans; ask before you assume another band. Manufacturing history — 25 years, 2.5 million units, 0.3 percent field failure — belongs in vendor review after the measurement and decoder are right. Destination-market documentation is a separate pack on the purchase order. Hong Kong sales owns the commercial conversation; the public decoder library owns the named fields.
