Abstract

In 2020, along with everything else going on, the Public Libraries in Port Adelaide Enfield, as part of it's STEM program started to build a IoT Sensor network. The IoT Sensor network builds on a collection of technology and other council projects to provide a network which is available for use by the council and local community alike. The Port Adelaide Enfield Libraries, via their STEM programs, aim to use free and open source software to produce a sustainable community resource. This presentation will discuss the background and some of the challenges faced by the project; technologically, commercially and socially. Technology discussed: LoRaWAN, Arduino, The Things Network, NodeRED, Graphana
