Development of Multipoint LoRa Communication Network On Microclimate Datalogging System With Simple LoRa Protocol

UB Forest is an educational forest area of 514 ha on the slopes of Mount Arjuno, Coffee plantations in UB FOREST consist of 4 plots namely is BAU, LC, MC, and HC plots. The LC plot is divided into 2 areas, A and B. Each area has advantages, in area A is a coffee plantation with good treatment. To make it easier for farmers to know the condition based on microclimate, a Datalogging system is needed that can monitor microclimate sensors such as air humidity and air temperature, soil moisture, soil temperature, and light intensity data of both areas by using the concept of the Internet of Things in UB Forest plantations. In this research, implementation was carried out by developing a Multipoint LoRa communication network with Simple LoRa Protocol (SLP). From the results of implementation obtained the result that the system can provide microclimate information on UB Forest plantations with fairly dense vegetation. The quality of system performance provides results with an average delay of 621.74ms, packet loss has a value of 2%, and the average throughput value that the entire Sensor node gets is 28.97 bytes/s.
