Greenhouse Climate Monitor Kit v8
Greenhouse Climate Monitor LoRaWAN Kit – Complete OTAA Node for The Things Network
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
This advanced kit enables you to build a standalone LoRaWAN sensor node that measures temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure inside a greenhouse, then transmits the data over miles to The Things Network without WiFi or Bluetooth. By the end, you’ll have a battery-powered device encased in a waterproof enclosure, sending decodable payloads visible in the TTN console – exactly what commercial agri-tech solutions do.
What You'll Build
You’ll assemble and program an Arduino Nano-based device that uses the RA-02 LoRa module with a tuned antenna to join a LoRaWAN network using OTAA activation. Once running, the node regularly reads DHT22 and BMP280 sensors, packages the data into a compact binary payload, and uplinks it to any nearby LoRaWAN gateway. You’ll see real-time dew point, vapour pressure deficit, and barometric trends on the TTN dashboard, enabling precise climate control decisions.
What You'll Learn
- Setting up OTAA-based LoRaWAN authentication and session keys on a microcontroller
- Wiring and coding dual I2C/one-wire sensors with minimal power consumption
- Decoding custom binary payloads on The Things Network platform using JavaScript
- Implementing deep-sleep strategies to extend battery life beyond three months

Who This Kit Is For
This kit suits agricultural engineers building remote climate stations, B.Tech ECE/EEE students developing IoT projects for precision farming, Smart India Hackathon teams tackling food-security challenges, and researchers at IIT/NIT/R&D labs prototyping low-power wide-area networks. Even seasoned makers transitioning from WiFi to LoRaWAN will find the pre-verified hardware and documentation invaluable.
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?
Open the AI companion from the QR code inside the box for step-by-step guidance, or message our WhatsApp support for direct help from the Compoden team.
Do I need a LoRaWAN gateway to use this kit?
Yes, you need a gateway connected to The Things Network. Many public gateways exist in Indian cities; the kit assumes you have access to one within range. No gateway is included.
Can I extend this node to control irrigation valves?
The Arduino Nano has spare digital pins, so with additional relay modules you could add valve control. The pre-flashed firmware can be modified using our provided codebase.
How accurate are the DHT22 and BMP280 in greenhouse conditions?
The DHT22 provides ±0.5°C accuracy and ±2%RH; the BMP280 offers ±1 hPa pressure and ±1°C temperature. Together they match requirements for most horticultural monitoring, but for high-stakes commercial operations, consider upgrading to industrial sensors.
