LoRaWAN-Driven Beehive Monitoring with Students
summary
Five years of student projects use LoRaWAN and earlier Sigfox connectivity to move from breadboard prototypes to fielded systems monitoring hive temperature, weight, light and sound and sending dashboards via Ubidots and Grafana. Students build PCBs, iterate on failed sensors, run winter field tests and end up with 10 beehives deployed near Versailles, acoustic queen detection and weight alarms, plus Edge Impulse tinyML on microphone data and ESP32-cam image counts for hornet detection; most prototypes reach working deployments and contribute open data.
