Installation d'un système IoT sans fil pour mesurer consommation électrique, Température ou humidité

Introduction

This tutorial provides a comprehensive guide on installing a wireless IoT system for measuring electrical consumption, temperature, and humidity. Utilizing LoRaWAN technology, you will learn how to set up sensors, a private gateway, and a dashboard to visualize your data. This setup is beneficial for various applications in monitoring and managing environmental and energy conditions.

Step 1: Gather Required Components

Before starting the installation, ensure you have all the necessary equipment:

• LoRaWAN Sensors: For temperature and humidity measurement from NKE WATTECO.
• Private LoRaWAN Gateway: A gateway from Kerlink to facilitate communication.
• 4G Industrial Router: An Advantech router for internet connectivity.
• IoT Platform: Access to Kheiron with IoTHINK Solutions for data visualization.

Practical Tips

• Check each component's compatibility with the others.
• Ensure all devices are fully charged or have fresh batteries.

Step 2: Set Up the Gateway

Follow these steps to install the private LoRaWAN gateway:

1. Location Selection: Choose a central location for the gateway to ensure optimal coverage.
2. Power Connection: Connect the gateway to a power source.
3. Internet Connection:
   • Use an Ethernet cable or connect the 4G router.
   • Ensure the router is configured to provide internet access.

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

• Avoid placing the gateway near large metal objects or electronic devices that may interfere with the signal.
• Confirm that the gateway is correctly configured to connect to the IoT platform.

Step 3: Install the Sensors

To install the temperature and humidity sensors:

1. Choose Locations: Identify areas where you want to monitor temperature and humidity.
2. Mount Sensors:
   • Use appropriate mounting hardware to secure the sensors.
   • Ensure they are positioned away from direct sunlight and other heat sources.
3. Power the Sensors: Insert batteries or connect to a power source if applicable.

Helpful Advice

• Consider placing sensors at different heights to gather more comprehensive data.
• Regularly check sensor placement for any obstructions over time.

Step 4: Configure the IoT Platform

Once the hardware is set up, configure the IoT platform for data collection and visualization:

1. Create an Account: Sign up on Kheiron with IoTHINK Solutions.
2. Connect Devices:
   • Add your sensors and gateway to the platform.
   • Follow the instructions provided by the platform to establish connections.
3. Set Up Dashboards:
   • Create visual dashboards to monitor your data in real-time.
   • Customize alerts for specific thresholds, such as high temperature or humidity levels.

Real-World Applications

• Use the data to optimize energy consumption in buildings.
• Monitor environmental conditions in agriculture or storage facilities.
