## Tour transcript

1. Soil probes in the fields, a LoRaWAN gateway on the water tower, a weather station by a farmstead and a solar microgrid at the village edge.
2. Soil moisture at three depths, reported every 15 minutes over LoRaWAN.
3. Air temperature, humidity, wind, rain and radiation to WMO siting practice.

## In this scene

**LoRaWAN probe and gateway**: Soil moisture at three depths, reported every 15 minutes over LoRaWAN. (LoRaWAN L2 1.0.4, LoRa Alliance RP002-1.0.4)
**Automatic weather station**: Air temperature, humidity, wind, rain and radiation to WMO siting practice. (WMO-No. 8)
