Abstract
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) nowadays represent a widespread and continuously evolving scenario. This is possible, in significant manner, thanks to Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWANs) technologies. In this paper, a LoRa based Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) flood monitoring system is presented. The design, realization and real scenario test results are presented for the reported prototype. The system is composed of a sensor node and a web section for data treatment and alarm implementation. The sensor node is microcontroller based, and communicates towards a LoRaWAN network structure by means of a LoRa transceiver. A remote web section is used for data analysis and flooding alarm. The device uses simple but low cost and robust sensors to monitor the water level. The node is powered by solar energy harvesting using a photovoltaic cell, which, thanks to the employment of a low power standby mode, allows the device to achieve energetic sufficient energy.
