Purpose

To programmatically close the sensor to prescription loop created in https://lite-farm.atlassian.net/wiki/x/FYBtW through a set of manual processes in order to make pivot irrigation more efficient and effective in an increasingly dry world.

User story

Additional context

Refactor sensor architecture

As a user I want to be able to look over historical data for any period where my sensors where gathering in field data so that I can learn from the data that I’ve generated

Areas to investigate here:

  • Review architecture and refactor as needed

  • Make queries against time series data more performant

  • Automated migration of data out of Postgres after a certain amount of time?

  • Move from static to dynamic sensor reading view window

  • Others?

Crop data

As a farmer growing a particular crop I want LiteFarm to know the water needs for that crop by crop stage so that the irrigation prescription recommendations are in line with optimizing my crop

We will need to collect at least the following data for all crops identified in /wiki/spaces/LITEFARM/pages/1487175681:

  • Crop stage data (based on days from planting)

  • Crop specific ET curves

Notes

How do

For sensors at the same lat / long but with multiple depths, how should we be visualizing those depths?

See https://lite-farm.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/LITEFARM/pages/1202290689/Sensor+Q+A#How-do-we-link-up-sensor_reading_types-with-a-depth-via-csv-upload%3F . Suggest overlaying different depths on the same x-axis (time) so you can see the impact of irrigation events at different depths.

Should we refactor “temperature” to be “soil_temperature”?

Right now “temperature” is a partner_reading_type. However, this actually indicates “soil temperature” and may become confusing as we begin to use air temperature as well.
