Build a 1km+ LoRa Sensor Telemetry Network with ESP32 Gateway — No WiFi or Cellular Needed at the Edge

Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.

In farms that stretch for acres, warehouses that block WiFi, or pipelines that run for kilometres, you don't have the luxury of a constant internet connection at every sensor point. This kit lets you deploy two battery-powered LoRa nodes that transmit temperature, humidity, and pressure data over 1km without relying on WiFi or a cellular network. One ESP32 acts as a gateway, picking up the LoRa packets and forwarding them straight to your cloud dashboard — perfect for remote environmental monitoring, precision agriculture, or industrial sensor telemetry from a central location.

What You'll Build

You'll assemble two independent LoRa transmitter nodes, each with its own DHT22 sensor and a shared BMP280 on one node, plus an OLED display to view readings locally. The nodes send sensor data via SX1278 radio to a receiver ESP32 that logs, displays, and pushes the payload to a cloud endpoint over WiFi. By the end, you'll have a fully functional, long-range telemetry network that you can scale with additional nodes, all without writing a single HTTP request on the sensor side.

What You'll Learn

• Configure and range-test SX1278 LoRa modules for reliable 1km+ communication in Indian outdoor conditions
• Integrate DHT22 and BMP280 sensors into battery-optimised ESP32 nodes with deep sleep
• Design a multi-node star network with collision avoidance using simple LoRa packet addressing
• Build an ESP32 gateway that receives LoRa frames and uploads structured JSON to a cloud platform like ThingSpeak or Firebase

Why Buy This Kit Instead of Sourcing Parts Separately

Who This Kit Is For

This advanced kit is built for B.Tech ECE/EEE students tackling Smart India Hackathon challenges, IoT researchers at IITs and NITs prototyping low-power wide-area networks, and agritech or industrial automation engineers who need to deploy long-range sensor nodes without relying on cellular modules. If you're already comfortable with Arduino IDE, soldering, and basic power management and want to move beyond single-board WiFi projects, you'll find the right depth here.

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.
