- The challenge
- Pastures (grass fields) are not always connected to a house or an electrical circuit. Installing a 12V battery is a common solution to this problem. This comes with the risk that the battery runs out with further damaging. To solve this, I installed a microcontroller with a cellular connection next to the battery. This sends data readings to the custom API. The app consumes this API to visualize a chart. It also receives push notifications when the battery percentage is critically low.
