Agriculture is the field which assumes a significant part in improving our nation’s economy. Agriculture is the one which brought forth progress. India is an agrarian country and its economy to a great extent dependent on crop profitability. Monitoring of various agricultural parameters is complex task owing to its dependence on various factors. This paper presents a low-cost solution for monitoring of various agricultural parameters. The Integrated system measures agriculture parameters like temperature, humidity, soil moisture etc. and sends these parameters to the user system using an ultra-low powered LoRa module. Hardware modules are designed to monitor. Sensor’s data is read by a low power consumed controller, ESP8266. The controller is programmed using Arduino IDE. The parameters that are read from the sensors and the data packets are transmitted using the LoRa transmitter, and received by the LoRa receiver. The data is then transmitted to the cloud using WiFi technology. We have used Things Board to configure IoT dashboard and visualise the data using different IoT devices. In this system all modules include sensors, controlling device and communication devices that work with less power consumption. The developed system was tested the hardware in the laboratory as well as field. The humidity, temperature and soil moisture slightly differed in both the cases. In future the system can be developed for irrigation systems by connecting motors and controlling it using web applications, at that time LoRa module works as bi-directional device.
