Analysis of a Public and Private Networks for Nutrient Measurement System using LoRawan Network

Abstract

Lorawan network is ideal for IoT devices that continuously monitor a device and provide information to the gateway if the monitored data is outside the permitted threshold. These devices only require a small bandwidth and are therefore capable of operating on batteries for a long period of time. This study evaluates the design of a tool to measure soil nutrients with parameters of Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), Potassium (K) using NPK sensors and IoT-based systems. The microcontroller used is ESP 32 which is connected to two types of networks. And will be integrated by Antares and the Android app. The purpose of making two types of networks in order to obtain data for analysis or development of the next tool. The result of designing this system is to create a device that can help farmers or the community in the process of measuring nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium levels directly through the Android application so that soil control and fertilization can be more effective moreover yields can be maximized.
