Building Solar-Powered IoT Node
I want to build an iot node with lora, rs485 sensors, battery + solar powered,

Great! Let’s pin down the requirements step by step.
- Which RS-485 sensors do you plan to connect?
- Please list the sensor types (e.g. temperature, flow, pressure)
- If you know it, include their approximate power draw or current consumption.
Feel free to share as much (or as little) detail as you have—if you’d rather I make reasonable assumptions, just let me know!
- NPK, pH, light + ambient sensor

Great, thanks! Next question:
- How often should the node report sensor data over LoRa?
- For example: every 5 min, 15 min, hourly, or on-demand?
- If you’re unsure, I can assume a typical interval (e.g., once every 15 min).
30mins. assume the rest and help me build the design

I can add those components for you. Here’s what will be added:
