Wine Cellar Climate Monitor Kit v7
Build a 1km+ Range Wine Cellar Climate Monitor with ESP32 & LoRa
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Whether you manage a private collection of rare Bordeaux or oversee a small vineyard cellar, temperature and humidity fluctuations can ruin years of careful aging. This kit lets you deploy two long-range sensor nodes that transmit climate data from a remote cellar or storage area back to a gateway node, all without depending on WiFi coverage. The gateway then uploads data to the cloud via ESP32, giving you real-time alerts anywhere.
What You'll Build
Two battery-powered LoRa nodes that each monitor temperature and humidity, a central gateway that aggregates their data and connects to your WiFi network, and a cloud dashboard to view readings from any device. All enclosures are waterproof, so you can place them in damp cellar corners or even outside covered areas.
What You'll Learn
- Configure and deploy a LoRa network for long-range data transmission without cellular or WiFi dependence
- Interface DHT22 and BMP280 sensors with ESP32 to capture cellar climate data
- Design a battery-powered remote monitoring node with low-power modes using LM2596 buck regulators
- Upload sensor data from an ESP32 gateway to a cloud dashboard for remote monitoring

Who This Kit Is For
This advanced IoT kit is designed for B.Tech ECE or EEE students working on wireless sensor network projects, IoT engineers prototyping long-range monitoring solutions, and tech-savvy wine enthusiasts who want to protect their collection. It’s also ideal for Smart India Hackathon teams and engineering colleges like IIT, NIT, VIT, BITS Pilani that need reliable, pre-integrated hardware for prototype demonstrations.
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 included in the box to access the AI companion, which gives step-by-step guidance specific to this kit. You can also reach us via WhatsApp for direct engineer support.
Will the LoRa signal penetrate multiple cellar walls and floors?
Yes, the 433MHz LoRa modules are designed for excellent penetration through concrete and soil. With proper antenna placement, you can expect reliable data transmission at ranges exceeding 1km even through multiple barriers.
Can I monitor more than two sensor nodes with this kit?
The gateway firmware supports up to 8 LoRa nodes. You can purchase additional node components separately; contact us for a BOM and configuration guide.
Do I need any WiFi in the cellar?
No. The remote LoRa nodes require no WiFi or cellular — they send data wirelessly to the gateway over long range. Only the gateway needs a WiFi connection to upload to the cloud, so you can place it where your home or office WiFi reaches.
Wine Storage — Two LoRa nodes send sensor data 1km+ range without WiFi. Gateway uploads to cloud via ESP32 WiFi.
