The network of a connected greenhouse: climate sensors, irrigation and fertigation controllers, cameras and a cloud link.
Drawing diagram…
Smart greenhouse network: LoRaWAN sensors (temperature, humidity, soil moisture, EC/pH) connect to a LoRaWAN gateway; a climate controller drives fans, vents and misting; a fertigation controller runs drip irrigation; IP cameras watch crops. Everything sits behind a router with firewall and LTE backup; data goes to a cloud dashboard and remote access is via VPN.

VPN --> RTWhere each part of a precision farming system runs: soil and weather sensors in the field, a solar-powered LoRaWAN gateway, and cloud services for irrigation and advice.
How produce moves from the farm to the buyer: harvest, grading, collection centre, mandi or online market, and payment to the farmer.
How satellite and drone imagery plus field sensors become crop health alerts and advice for farmers.
The states of an automated drip irrigation controller: idle, scheduled watering, moisture-based watering, rain delay and fault handling.
How a farmer checks crop prices across nearby mandis and books a sale: live prices, transport cost, best net price and booking.
A schema for a farm management app: farmers, plots, crop cycles, inputs applied, activities and harvests.
