PKRU researcher’s LoRa Sensor for IoT awarded silver prize from CRCI
Recently, the Low – cost LoRa Sensor Node invented by Asst. Prof. Dr. Songkait Pawadee, the lecturer at Digital Technology Program, Faculty of Science and Technology at Phuket Rajabhat University, was awarded silver prize in the 9th Conference of Research and Creative Innovations hosted by Rajamangala University of Technology Lanna.
The winning sensor is an IoT gadget that measures light, humidity, and temperature. The device can be used without an internet connection or in conjunction with a typical LoRa gateway in a water control system, notification system, or other IoT system on an internet network. The device can be equipped with an I2C sensor and programmed to perform a variety of operations such as sensor node delivering information to the gateway, Mesh information forwarding, Point to Point information reception, or even budget LoRa gateway creation.
LoRa is a wireless communication technology that, due to its low power consumption and vast capacity for communication, is best suited for IoT devices. Delivering information from the sensor node to the control center is an example of sensor node application, as is using many sensor nodes in weather forecasting, water level and amount measurement. It can be utilized without the need for a communication network provider or operator, therefore the researcher intends to develop a low-cost LoRa sensor node for environmental forecasting at the university or a water-control system for farmers in Phuket.
