Hi Everyone, I’m very new in this, so, i’ll try to be as accurate as possible but please be gentle with me :). I’m working in a Fish farm and I would like to set up a monitoring system. Initial conditions : The owner has his house 500meters away from the pools, the pools are an open circuit of water, where the water is coming from a small river, and going back in once passed through the pools. Sometimes, they way gets blocked by leaves and the level in the pool gets critical. Secondely, if a power cut happens, the aerators shutdown … and this can turn quickly bad What I need : So ! I will be setting up a wifi relay between the pools and his house, next to the pools we have a small building where i’m going to set up a computer (which will receive datas from sensors). And here is where it gets hard for me, Im struggling to know what would be the best option for my case, Lora/Lorawan seems to be a potential solution for what I want which is : -Setting up a video feed (that won’t record, i just want to be able to remotely activate and monitor when i need) -Having a sensor that catch the tension (I wanna know when a powercut happens) -And monitoring basical stuff like the level of my pool, the 02 in the water, temperature… I heard about Arduino as well,maybe both? tell me guys what do you think about it, Thanks and have a good one !
