Wine Cellar Climate Monitor Kit v9
Wine Cellar Climate Monitor Kit v9 - Arduino Portenta C33 LoRa Climate Sensor for 2-Year Remote Monitoring
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Imagine a sensor node tucked inside your wine cellar, waking every 15 minutes to check temperature, humidity, and pressure, then transmitting the data over long-range LoRa to your monitoring dashboard—all while sipping just 10 microamps in sleep mode, running for two years on a solar-charged battery. With this kit, you’ll construct that exact system, mastering the art of ultra-low-power IoT design that’s critical for remote, unattended sensing applications in agriculture, cold chain logistics, and heritage preservation.
What You'll Build
You’ll assemble a self-contained environmental monitor that logs climate data from a DHT22 and BMP280 sensor suite, processes it on an Arduino Portenta C33, and transmits via RA-02 LoRa module at 433 MHz. The device operates autonomously inside a waterproof enclosure, powered by a 6V solar panel and four 18650 cells managed by a TP4056 charging module. The firmware uses the C33’s deep-sleep mode to minimise power consumption, achieving a 15-minute measurement interval with two full years of battery life—a reliable, maintenance-free solution for wine cellars or any remote monitoring need.
What You'll Learn
- Designing a deep-sleep sensor node on Arduino Portenta C33 with microamp-level sleep current
- Interfacing DHT22 temperature/humidity and BMP280 pressure sensors via I2C and calibrating for accuracy
- Configuring LoRa RA-02 SX1278 module for 433 MHz long-range transmission, including antenna matching and signal integrity
- Implementing solar charging with TP4056 and multi-cell lithium battery power budgeting for sustained outdoor operation

Who This Kit Is For
This advanced kit is ideal for working professionals in IoT and embedded systems, final-year B.Tech ECE students building innovative capstone projects, and electronics researchers at IITs, NITs, and VIT developing long-range sensor networks. If you are participating in corporate R&D labs or government initiatives like the Digital India IoT programme, this kit provides a real-world, low-power LoRa solution.
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?
The AI companion provides step-by-step debugging prompts, and you can reach our team on WhatsApp for live backup.
Do I need any prior experience with LoRa or deep-sleep programming?
Familiarity with Arduino IDE is helpful, but the AI companion walks you through every code snippet and low-power register setting. Our support is there if you need clarification.
Can I extend this to monitor multiple wine cellars or environmental zones?
Yes, the LoRa protocol easily handles multiple nodes. The companion documentation includes a multi-node setup guide with unique device IDs and a simple gateway.
How do I access and visualise the transmitted climate data?
The kit includes a web dashboard template that receives LoRa data via a gateway (not included). You can also forward readings to ThingSpeak for real-time charts and temperature alerts.
Wine Storage — C33 deep-sleep node wakes every 15 min, reads sensors, transmits LoRa and returns to 10µA sleep. 2-year battery life.
