SDI-12-DRA - SDI-12 To LoRaWAN®

The Koidra SDI-12 is an SDI-12 to LoRaWAN® converter. It allows the SDI-12 devices to use LoRaWAN wireless protocol which simplifies the IoT installation and reduces the installation/maintaining cost. This device provides a bridge between SDI-12 intelligent sensors and LoRaWAN networks, enabling remote monitoring of environmental data over long-range, low-power wireless connections.

Features

  • LoRaWAN 1.0.3 Class A protocol support
  • SDI-12 Interface for connecting SDI-12 compatible sensors
  • Ultra-low power consumption for extended battery life
  • Controllable power output to external sensors
  • IP67 enclosure for outdoor deployments
  • Long-range wireless communication via LoRaWAN
  • Simplified IoT installation with wireless connectivity
  • Reduced installation and maintenance costs

Use Cases

  • Environmental monitoring with SDI-12 sensors
  • Agricultural soil moisture and temperature measurement
  • Weather station data collection
  • Hydrology and water quality monitoring
  • Remote sensor deployments in harsh environments
  • Smart agriculture applications
  • Research and scientific data logging

Thinger.io Integration

The SDI-12-DRA integrates with Thinger.io through LoRaWAN network servers, enabling cloud-based data visualization, storage, and device management for SDI-12 sensor networks.

Requirements

A LoRaWAN server is required to communicate the Koidra SDI-12-DRA into Thinger.io, some options are:

Alongside, the corresponding plugin for the selected LoRaWAN server needs to be installed in your Thinger.io instance.

Get Started

Installation

Look for the plugin in the Thinger.io Plugin Store and install it in your Thinger.io instance. Once the plugin is installed a new Product will be created for this device.

Configuration

The Product is already preconfigured, check that the auto provision prefix matches the one selected in your LoRaWAN server plugin in Thinger.io, or change it to your desire.

Usage

Start sending uplinks for autoprovisioning devices and buckets. This product also provides a predefined dashboard and downlinks.
