HVAC Performance Monitor Kit v18
HVAC Performance Monitoring Kit with Raspberry Pi Zero W and LoRaWAN
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 kit lets you build a wireless sensor network that tracks temperature and humidity across an HVAC system, transmitting data over long range to a private LoRaWAN gateway. You’ll deploy a Raspberry Pi Zero W as a Chirpstack network server, join an Arduino Nano end node via OTAA, and store decoded payloads in InfluxDB—exactly the kind of pipeline used in smart building energy audits and predictive maintenance.
What You'll Build
You’ll assemble a complete LoRaWAN architecture: the Raspberry Pi Zero W runs Chirpstack to manage the network, while an Arduino Nano reads a DHT22 sensor and sends data through the RA-02 LoRa module. Once the payload is decrypted, it lands in InfluxDB where you can query and visualize trends. This gives you a real-time window into HVAC performance, ready for dashboards or analysis scripts.
What You'll Learn
- Set up a LoRaWAN network using Chirpstack on Raspberry Pi
- Configure OTAA activation for secure node joining
- Interface a DHT22 sensor with Arduino Nano and transmit data via LoRa
- Store and query time-series data in InfluxDB

Who This Kit Is For
This kit is ideal for CBSE Class 11-12 students exploring IoT and computer science, B.Tech ECE/EEE undergraduates working on communication and networking projects, and participants in hackathons like Smart India Hackathon focusing on energy-efficient buildings. It also suits ATL Tinkering Lab mentors guiding students through wireless sensor networks and time-series data applications.
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 QR code to launch the AI companion, which knows every step of this HVAC monitor build. You can also reach us on WhatsApp for direct support.
Do I need a separate LoRaWAN network server subscription?
No, Chirpstack runs locally on the Raspberry Pi Zero W included in the kit. No cloud subscription or external server is required.
Can I add more sensor nodes to this network?
Yes, the Chirpstack gateway can handle multiple end nodes. Additional Arduino Nano and RA-02 modules are available separately on compoden.in.
Is soldering experience required?
Basic soldering is needed to assemble the boards. The kit includes a soldering iron and solder wire, and the AI companion offers beginner-friendly guidance.
