Nesnelerin İnterneti (IoT) tabanlı akıllı tarım uygulamaları, tarımsal alanları izlemek için yeni fırsatlar sunuyor. IoT özellikli cihazları bağlamak için pratikte kullanılabilecek farklı haberleşme protokolleri vardır. Bunlar arasında düşük güç geniş alan ağı (LPWAN) tabanlı protokoller, küçük veri paketlerinin uzun mesafelerde enerji verimli iletimi nedeniyle tarımsal uygulamaların özel ihtiyaçlarına çok uygundur. Bu çalışma, çiftçileri sert hava koşullarından kaynaklı olası mahsul hasarları konusunda uyarmak için kullanılabilecek LoRa tabanlı meteorolojik izleme sisteminin kavramsal tasarımını sunmaktadır. Bu kapsamda düşük maliyetli bir meteoroloji istasyonunun donanım tasarımı detaylı olarak anlatılmıştır. Ayrıca Karaman ilinde elma çiçeklenme don hasarı riskini azaltmak için gerçekleştirilecek uygulamanın tahmini kapsama alanı Xirio Online radyo planlama aracı kullanılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlar, önerilen meteorolojik izleme sisteminin uygulanabilirliğini doğrulamıştır.

A Conceptual Design of LoRa based Weather Monitoring System for Smart Farming

Öz

Internet of Things (IoT) based smart farming applications opens up new opportunities for monitoring the agricultural fields. There are different communication protocols can be used in practice to connect the IoT-enabled devices. Among them, the low-power, wide area network (LPWAN) based protocols are well suited to the specific needs of agricultural applications due to their energy-efficient transmission of small data packets over long distances. This study presents the conceptual design of LoRa based weather monitoring system that can be used to warn the farmers about possible crop damages due to harsh weather conditions. The hardware design of a low-cost weather station has been explained in details. Also, the estimated coverage area of the application to be carried out in order to reduce the risk of apple flowering frost damage risk in Karaman Province, Turkey was evaluated using the Xirio Online radio planning tool. The obtained results have verified the feasibility of proposed weather monitoring system.
