LoRaWAN Edge AI Environmental Node
LoRaWAN Edge AI Environmental Node — Detect Air Quality Anomalies with Real-Time LTE Alerts
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
A solar-powered air quality sentinel that uses an Arduino Portenta H7 to run TensorFlow Lite models on its M7 core, classifying PM2.5 and CO2 data in real time. Instead of streaming raw sensor readings, this node transmits only anomaly alerts via LTE Cat.M1 when thresholds are breached — extending battery life and reducing data costs. Built for remote monitoring scenarios where every watt and byte counts.
What You'll Build
You'll assemble a field-deployable environmental monitoring unit enclosed in a waterproof case, powered by a solar panel and Li-ion batteries. After training a TensorFlow Lite model to recognize pollution patterns, the Portenta will infer anomalies locally and dispatch concise alerts via the Cat.M1 shield to any cloud endpoint. The device stores a rolling log on a microSD card for forensic analysis of past events.
What You'll Learn
- Deploy a TensorFlow Lite model on an Arm Cortex-M7 microcontroller for on-device inference
- Interface industrial-grade air quality sensors (PMS5003, MH-Z19B) over UART and I2C
- Implement event-driven LTE-M communication with the Portenta Cat.M1 shield
- Design a self-sustaining power system with MPPT solar charging and 18650 batteries

Who This Kit Is For
Engineers and IoT architects developing remote environmental monitoring infrastructure, B.Tech ECE/EEE students working on final-year projects or Smart India Hackathon submissions, and research scholars at IIT/NIT labs requiring a rugged edge AI platform. It also serves professionals in agriculture or mining who need an autonomous alert system for hazardous air conditions.
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 activate the AI build companion — it knows this kit inside out. You can also reach our engineers on WhatsApp for direct assistance during India working hours.
Do I need prior experience with TensorFlow Lite?
Some familiarity with embedded ML is helpful, but the AI companion provides a pre-trained anomaly detection model and step-by-step deployment instructions. A willingness to learn is all you need.
How do I send alerts to the cloud?
The Cat.M1 shield connects to LTE networks. We guide you to set up an MQTT or HTTP endpoint; the kit transmits only a short JSON alert payload when an anomaly is detected, minimizing data usage.
Can this kit run without solar power?
Yes, the two 18650 cells can power the node for days of normal operation. The solar panel is included to extend runtime indefinitely in outdoor deployments.
Portenta + Cat.M1 Shield + TFLite classifies air quality anomalies on M7. Sends only event alerts via LTE to cloud.
