I’m new to LoRaWAN projects and currently working on my final-year irrigation project. I successfully connected the RAK3172 module to the RAK7289 gateway and transmitted data using the RAKWireless platform by accessing its Web Management Platform at IP address 192.168.230.1.
Now, I’m trying to connect the gateway to ThingsBoard. I was wondering if there is complete, ready-to-use projects related to applications like smart farming , smart buildings , irrigation, ect… I came across these projects on GitHub: LPWAN-Soil-Moisture-Solution ,RAK10706-Signal-Meter,RUI3-RS485-Soil-Sensor. Are there any similar projects available elsewhere that I can learn from?
Beyond ThingsBoard, I was wondering if there are other platforms that provide ready-to-use projects,or any open source projects. One of my objectives is to explore and learn from existing implementations. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Devices/Nodes do not connect to GW’s but to a LNS (LoRaWAN Network Server) with the GWs simply capturing the broadcast message from the Node and passing the message through to their associated LNS. (Effectively acting as a form of media convertor). The Things Network provides the LNS - TTS Sandbox. Similarly GW’s do not connect to integrations/dashboards such as ThingsBoard…it is the LNS and any associated Application Server that provides that connection (in the form of a data feed). The only exception to this architectural implementation is where the GW is also hosting its own LNS as a closed system. The key question, therefore, is are you using the RAK internal LNS or are you feeding into TTN Community or a related TTS Hosted or private instance?
This Forum is paid for by The Things Industries and is for the support of TTI & TTN based LoRaWAN applications and use cases (running over TTS - The Things Stack)
There are many instances and examples of LoRaWAN enabled/monitored irrigation systems across a host of Agri business applications - GIYF, and Forum Search will reveal many also.
We don’t spoon feed students - that would negate the point of learning and researching Rather we can assist with specific issues or questions where they have demonstrated their own due dillegence and research activities and show what they are basing their work and questions on (saves playing 20 questions to get to root issues ). Recommend you throughly read the associated Learn Section and the TTI/TTN Documentation as a great step up to a successful project
One early and well know irrigation application (in Vineyards) using LoRaWAN and TTN/TTI would show up under Vinduino… as a 1st hint (been around since the fairly early days of TTN and Reinier was historically active on the forum)
