Building a Farm Weather Station with LoRaWAN
A farm weather station is three kits — soil, wind, and rain — on one application, not one decoder.
A farm weather station is a set of instruments, not a single SKU with a weather label.
What goes on the pole
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.
One application, three decoders
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.
Interval and season
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.
