Wine Cellar Climate Monitor Kit v11
Wine Cellar Climate Monitor Kit — Build a LoRa Sensor Node with Raspberry Pi Zero W
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 wine cellar’s value rests on a stable climate — temperature, humidity, and pressure must stay within narrow bands. This kit lets you build a battery-powered Raspberry Pi Zero W sensor node that reads those vital parameters and transmits them wirelessly over 1km+ using LoRa. No cables, no complex gateway wiring — just a rugged long-range data link that penetrates thick cellar walls. Perfect for serious collectors, sommelier students, or an advanced IoT engineering project that demands real-world performance.
What You'll Build
You’ll assemble a complete remote monitor: a Pi Zero W paired with a DHT22 for temperature and humidity, a BMP280 for barometric pressure, and an RA-02 LoRa transceiver module with a 433MHz antenna. The node runs on a rechargeable LiPo battery with a TP4056 charging module, sending sensor data to a gateway Raspberry Pi (not included) up to a kilometre away. The result is a live dashboard of your cellar environment, accessible even through stone and earth.
What You'll Learn
- Integrate DHT22 and BMP280 sensors with Raspberry Pi over I2C and GPIO, reading precise environmental data.
- Configure and program the RA-02 LoRa module for long-range, low-power wireless communication via SPI.
- Build a battery-operated IoT node with LiPo power management and TP4056 charging circuitry.
- Deploy a complete wireless sensor network with reliable 1km+ data transmission for real-time monitoring.

Who This Kit Is For
Advanced hobbyists and engineering students ready for a real-world IoT challenge. Ideal for B.Tech ECE/EEE students at IITs, NITs, VIT, BITS Pilani, and other engineering colleges tackling Smart India Hackathon submissions or final-year projects. It also speaks directly to India’s nascent wine community — from Nashik vineyards to Bengaluru cellars — who need a reliable, long-range climate monitor they built with their own hands. If you’ve completed intermediate Raspberry Pi projects and are comfortable soldering, this kit pushes your skills to professional grade.
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 on the box to launch the AI build companion, which walks you through every step with interactive guidance. You can also reach our team via WhatsApp for personalised help.
Do I need a separate gateway Raspberry Pi?
Yes, this kit builds the sensor node. You’ll need a Raspberry Pi (any model) with a second RA-02 module as the receiver. Compoden offers a matching gateway kit, or you can source your own. The AI companion includes instructions for setting up the gateway.
What kind of range can I expect in a real wine cellar?
In open air, the RA-02 achieves over 1km line-of-sight. Underground, range depends on wall thickness; typical wine cellars (stone/concrete) still deliver reliable data at 200–500 metres. The included 433MHz antenna is optimised for indoor penetration.
Is this kit suitable for a college project submission?
Absolutely. The LoRa communication, multi-sensor integration, and battery management make it a high-grade IoT project. The build teaches industry-relevant skills, and you’ll have a working prototype to demonstrate for viva or hackathon judging.
Wine Storage — Pi Zero W reads environment sensors and transmits over RA-02 LoRa to a gateway Pi. 1km+ range.
