[quote=exsdgal]meadandale and barnaby33, Thanks for the RF suggestion. Is my understanding correct that RF is used to collect data from the sensors to transmit to the base station? I presume the base station has a data display or logger. Is the sensor data accessible in an online portal transmitted via RF?
The moisture data does not need much security for transmission. I just like to cross off potential use cases by starting with a secure network requirement.

In the case of my weather station, the sensor suite controller has a small battery and solar panel that charges a capacitor. It transmits data periodically (every minute or less) to the base station, which has a display and stores history. You can also add a data logger and use that to upload to an online portal.
