- At 300 m spacing, the model gives a 10-minute median alert across 200 simulated fires; field tests are next.
Field notes
The described node samples temperature, humidity, pressure and combustion gases once a minute, then assigns a fire score; alerts can travel through up to three LoRa relays to a gateway, which forwards SMS and Telegram notifications under stated confirmation conditions. The parts list names an ESP32-S3, SX1262 radio and BME688 sensor, with modeled forest range of about 600 m; the page says that range still needs on-site confirmation.
