CatWAN Farmer by Electronic Cats

CatWAN Farmer, a grower's water saving project

Monitoring soil moisture at different depths to determine when to irrigate, and - more importantly - how much water is needed. Save 25%!

Main characteristics

Provide low cost, easy to build, and rugged components for optimizing agricultural irrigation.
DIY calibrated gypsum soil moisture sensors (Watermark SS200 is also supported).
Hand held sensor reader (soil moisture, soil/water salinity, water pressure).
Solar powered remote sensor platform.
4 electrically separated inputs for soil moisture sensors.
LoRa module for long range (6 miles).
temperature/humidity sensors.
Solar battery charger.
Real time clock for sleep mode power saving and precise irrigation timing.
Gateway to connect multiple LoRa end nodes to the Internet.
Supports packet mode LoRa® (package mode) or LoRaWAN ™ Class A, B and C.
Compatible with Beelan, The Things Network and other LoRaWAN networks.
Easy reprogramming compatible with Arduino and Circuit Python.
