Show HN: We open-sourced our compost monitoring tech

collectd is an open source monitoring system which can record to e.g. RRD flat files or SQLite and can forward collected metrics to SIEM-like monitoring and charting and anomaly detection apps like Grafana or InfluxDB.

Nagios has "state flaping detection" to prevent spurious notifications.

collectd-python-plugins includes Python scripts for monitoring humidity and temp with i2c sensors and Python: https://github.com/dbrgn/collectd-python-plugins

There are LoraWAN soil moisture sensors, but they require batteries or an in-field charging method

Thanks so much for sharing these resources—this is fantastic!

If you’re into LoRaWAN, you might be interested to hear that we’re also developing an industrial composting monitor that incorporates LoRaWAN tech. Here’s the promo video link if you’d like to check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZFiiwLhZh8&feature=youtu.be
