On Construction of a Campus Outdoor Air and Water Quality Monitoring System Using LoRaWAN

Abstract

This paper proposed implementing a water and air monitoring system using sensor development and a LoRa Network. To transmit data, a self-made PCB board integrates the terminal sensors with Renesas RX64M MCU and LoRa. There are 16 monitoring point stations for the media experiment. The sensors were used to measure the water and air parameters such as PM2.5, CO2, DO concentration, pH level, temperature, and humidity. In addition, the Grafana system was implemented to present the status and variation in the monitoring parameters in the environmental area. To evaluate the monitoring system, we also collected public information provided by the environmental protection department of the Taiwan government at the same monitoring point for comparison.
