With eight wireless sensor nodes spread across a grow room, greenhouse, or indoor farm, this kit maps soil moisture and temperature heterogeneity in real time - enabling variable rate irrigation that optimises water use and plant health.

Each node, built around an Arduino Nano and Lo-Ra RA-02 module, transmits data to a central ESP32 gateway. The gateway processes the data, visualizes it on an onboard display or pushes it to a cloud dashboard, and can control irrigation valves to deliver water precisely where needed based on measured variability.
