Auto Light Energy Saver Kit with ESP32 + LoRa
Auto Light Energy Saver Kit: Solar-Powered Pest Monitoring System with ESP32 + LoRa
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Deploy a self-contained field network that detects pests by motion, photographs them on the spot, and sends species counts to a cloud dashboard over LoRa — all running on solar power. This kit turns the laborious task of manual pest scouting into an automated, data-driven system that cuts chemical use and saves energy by activating cameras only when pests are present.
What You'll Build
Assemble a 3-node wireless pest monitoring grid powered entirely by the sun. Each node uses a PIR sensor to wake an ESP32-CAM only when movement is detected, captures a detailed image, stores it on a microSD card, and transmits a count to the central dashboard via LoRa. The dashboard displays daily pest trends per species, so you can time interventions precisely and reduce blanket spraying across your farm.
What You'll Learn
- Design low-power, battery-backed sensor nodes with solar charging and deep-sleep wake-up cycles
- Configure LoRa modules (RA-02) for long-range, low-bandwidth data telemetry from field to gateway
- Implement image capture and local storage on ESP32-CAM, then process counts with an edge-AI trained for pest species identification
- Integrate RTC time-stamping and light-level compensation (BH1750) to correlate pest activity with environmental data

Who This Kit Is For
Agri‑tech innovators and precision farming specialists who want to build a scalable, solar‑driven monitoring network. Ideal for agricultural researchers at ICAR institutes or State Agriculture Universities (SAUs), B.Tech Ag. Engineering / ECE students working on Smart India Hackathon or NABARD‑backed rural IoT projects, and startup teams building low‑cost pest advisory services for farmer cooperatives.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Scan the box QR to talk to our AI companion trained on this exact kit. If you need a human, reply to the WhatsApp number inside and an engineer will respond within 24 hours.
Can I expand the system beyond 3 trap nodes?
The gateway Arduino Nano supports up to 8 LoRa child nodes; you can build and pair additional Compoden nodes as your farm grows.
How does the solar power hold up during monsoon or overcast days?
The 18650 cell with TP4056 charger and 6V 1W panel is sized for a full day of PIR‑triggered captures even with only 4 hours of weak sunlight. The RTC‑logged data lets you analyse any gaps.
Do I need to write the pest‑counting algorithm myself?
The AI companion provides a pre‑trained lightweight model for common Indian crop pests; you run it on the edge with the ESP32‑CAM after capture.
Energy Saving — PIR + ESP32-CAM trap sensors photograph and count pests per species. LoRa uploads counts to cloud dashboard.
