Best way to do various sensors around a farm, sending back to a RasPi?

6 pointsby Andrenidover 8 years ago
I have no idea how to do this, but the family farms want a couple of sensors (water tank levels, soil moisture, etc) sending back to a screen inside showing stats.<p>I&#x27;ve done various small arduino and Raspi projects, including ultrasonic water tank sensors that read out on an LCD display, but never anything that needs to send data back to a hub.<p>Each sensor could be anywhere on a 200acre or 300acre farm (two farms), so need to be solar+battery and wireless.<p>What hardware and software stack should I be looking at?<p>Original idea was arduinos sending to a Raspi but I&#x27;m open to other ideas.<p>Keen to learn this stuff because we own a few farms and have lots of uses for &quot;x sensors sends to hub&quot; ideas.<p>Thanks in advance (unreliable sat net so I&#x27;ll check back when I can!)
