:partly_sunny: Monitor weather data with the SIGFOX network!

MKRFox1200 Weather Station 📡🌍

This project discribes how to monitor weather data with the Sigfox network (LPWAN ~ 6 months battery life with 2x AA).

Prerequisite

• Activate your device and create an account (if you don't already have one) on the Sigfox Backend platform
• Create an account on sigfox.thethings.io

Installations

1. Install the Arduino IDE

2. Select the MKRFox1200 board

3. Install the following librairies:

   • Arduino SigFox for MKRFox1200
   • Arduino Low Power
   • RTCZero
   • DHT sensor library (Adafruit) ❗ version 1.2.3 ❗

4. Flash the board with the code provided in this repo

5. Copy & paste this code in the "Cloud Code" sigfox_parser function at https://sigfox.thethings.io/

6. Create a Sigfox backend callback for your device

   • Use the following custom payload config:

   moduleTemp::int:16:little-endian dhtTemp::int:16:little-endian dhtHum::uint:16:little-endian lastMsg::uint:8
   

   • Use the following URL pattern (replace the 'X' with your own subscription URL information after creating a new product on sigfox.thethings.io)

   https://subscription.thethings.io/sgfx/XXXXX/XXXXXXXXXXXXX?id={device}&data={data}&moduleTemp={customData#moduleTemp}&dhtTemp={customData#dhtTemp}&dhtHum={customData#dhtHum}&lastMsg={customData#lastMsg}
   

7. Design a nice dashboard for your Sigfox connected weather station

8. Enjoy! 👍
