Lora Remote water level and pump upgrade to 6Km

[John]

Thank you for your nice intro on the Lora pump controller. I need similar but with auto start and stop. I want to implement on remote site with no internet. My question is what Lora device to use to provide approx 6km link.

Sorry saw that this device is up to 8km

Hi John,
For your features, I can tell you that just now that I’ll also develop those features soon, with a timer.

The current PCB can’t raise 8Km distances, but I think the max length is about 5Km. With the future new version (already projected), I changed something to raise that distance.

Thank you Renzo
I am no software engineer, so this article is of great interest for me. I will wait to see your new project regarding auto stop auto start.

Many thanks

Good day Renzo

Do you have an update on the remote water level controller with auto start and stop. or how I can go about implementing it.

Thank you

Hi John,
you can find a version with RTC here.

You must add an i2c RTC by sharing the pin of OLED display.
But It’s all undocumented.

I Attach the preview.

Thank you Renzo

I take note of the RTC version, just a quick question, will the pump auto start on low level and auto switch off on High level. My solar pump is located in the field approx 8 km from the house, the reservoir (5000 Liter) tank is 1km from pump, hence the request to auto start and stop. I cannot visit the pump on a daily basis and there is not internet or cell reception.

I thank you for your kind assistance

Hi john,
yes, the pump work in a specified time period, and It start if tank is not full and stop if it’s full.
Bye Renzo
