Popis: Smart farming, popularly called precision agriculture, refers to technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and drones that are rapidly transforming age-old farming traditions. This paper investigates how smart farming technologies are revolutionizing the practice of agriculture, specifically focusing on monitoring and control solutions of IoT devices and LoRaWAN networked. Therefore, the implementation of IoT devices would give the farmer access to current readings when needed for making decisions and optimizing their resources on the most important parameters for agricultural activity. And this is where IoT devices come in, making possible precision agriculture techniques with lowered costs by customizing farming practice for each crop or section of land. It means that even the most remote farms will benefit from monitoring and control solutions within LoRaWAN networks. Moreover, low power with long-range wireless connectivity technology devised by LoRaWAN ensures communication and data analysis to be a reliable one within the system. It introduces an intelligent LoRaWAN-based IoT device for the monitoring and controlling solutions with the parameters of performance evaluation, experimental setup, and the dataset used for its analysis. This paper elaborates on anomaly detection through Isolation Forest and proves it for the identification of anomalies in data related to temperature and humidity. Predominantly, the study also indicates precision in the temperature variation prediction model through the use of the predictive model based on the linear regression and random forest algorithms. This improves smart farming practices developed for precision agriculture in terms of efficiency, productivity, and sustainability.
