I need a complete hardware-to-firmware solution for a low-power, standalone temperature and humidity monitor that relies on 4G/LTE rather than Wi-Fi. The core will be an ESP32 driving a SIM7600G module, paired with a DHT22 sensor. Collected readings must be published over MQTT to my Supabase/PostgreSQL back-end. The device will sleep most of the time, wake on schedule, take a reading, push it securely, then drop back into deep sleep. It also has to recognise a lost cellular link, attempt reconnection gracefully, and log any failures for later review. Power comes from a Li-po pack, topped up through a USB-C port, so the design needs an efficient charging and protection stage. Please deliver: • Complete, readable schematic (PDF + source) • Production-ready PCB layout with Gerber files • Fully documented Arduino/C++ firmware including: – Deep-sleep logic with wake intervals adjustable over serial – MQTT routine targeting Supabase/PostgreSQL – Robust reconnection and error handling for the SIM7600G – Battery management and basic health reporting Acceptance tests will be a successful 24-hour bench run on battery, uninterrupted MQTT posting every 15 minutes, and current draw below 200 µA in sleep. If you have suggestions for component choices or layout tweaks that improve efficiency or reliability, feel free to highlight them.

Hello, I will deliver a complete hardware-to-firmware solution for a low-power, standalone temperature and humidity monitor using a 4G/LTE path with ESP32 driving a SIM7600G module and a DHT22 sensor. The design will sleep most of the time, wake on schedule, take readings, publish securely via MQTT to your Supabase/PostgreSQL back-end, and then return to deep sleep. I will build robust reconnection logic for cellular loss and log failures for review, plus a battery-management stage to maximize efficiency from a Li-Po pack with USB-C charging and protection. The deliverables will include a clean, production-ready schematic (PDF + source), Gerber PCB files, and a well-documented Arduino/C++ firmware featuring adjustable wake intervals, reliable MQTT routines, resilient SIM7600G handling, and battery health reporting. I will also propose layout optimizations to improve efficiency and reliability based on the chosen parts and board constraints. Here are the important questions I would like you to answer to tailor the solution: What is the minimum required MTBF for the cellular link and what logging granularity do you prefer for failures? What back-end security method do you require for MQTT (TLS version, certificate pinning, client auth)? Do you have a preferred SIM or carrier profile for the 4G plan (APN, roaming constraints, data cap)? What wake interval range is acceptable (e.g., 5, 15, 30 minutes) and how should it be adjusted (serial commands or OTA)? What are the exa

Hello, I went through your requirements carefully, and this is very close to the kind of remote telemetry hardware I’ve built several times around ESP32 + LTE architectures. The combination of ESP32, SIM7600G, MQTT telemetry, deep sleep management, and Li-ion battery operation is straightforward on paper, but getting it stable over long unattended operation is where most of the engineering effort actually goes especially with LTE power transients, modem recovery behavior, and achieving reliable low sleep current. I’ve worked on similar systems including: ESP32-based remote monitoring nodes LTE telemetry devices using SIM7600/SIM7000/A76xx modules Battery-powered environmental loggers MQTT reporting systems with offline buffering/retry logic Deep sleep optimization below sub-mA ranges USB-C powered Li-ion charging/protection designs Long-runtime field devices with watchdog and fault recovery handling For your target of <200 µA sleep current, the hardware partitioning and power tree will matter quite a bit. The SIM7600 itself can easily dominate leakage if the shutdown sequencing and rail isolation are not handled properly, so I’d likely separate always-on and switched domains carefully and evaluate whether the modem should be fully power-gated between wake cycles rather than left in modem sleep. On the PCB side, SIM7600 current spikes are usually the first place where otherwise “working” prototypes become unstable. I normally allocate substantial local bulk capacitance near VBAT, keep the high-current return path extremely short, and isolate RF and digital return currents properly. Placement around the antenna feed, matching region, and ground continuity also matters more than many expect with LTE modules. From the firmware side, I would structure the system as a small state-driven workflow rather than a linear loop: wake power validation sensor acquisition modem bring-up network registration MQTT session publish/acknowledge error handling / retry fault logging graceful shutdown deep sleep That makes recovery logic much cleaner when the modem partially hangs, registration stalls, or MQTT acknowledgements fail intermittently. For MQTT reliability, I’d avoid “fire and forget” publishing and instead implement explicit acknowledgement handling, bounded retries, modem reset escalation, and persistent failure counters. If cellular service is temporarily unavailable, readings can optionally be buffered locally and flushed on reconnection. For battery management, I’d likely use a dedicated Li-ion charger/protection approach rather than relying on simplistic USB charging circuits. USB-C sink configuration, charging thermal behavior, quiescent current, and battery protection thresholds all affect long-term reliability and standby current. The acceptance target of uninterrupted 15-minute reporting over 24 hours on battery is very reasonable provided the modem attach time is controlled properly and the network conditions are decent. The largest variable in power budgeting is usually LTE registration duration and signal quality. A few technical questions before defining the final architecture: 1. Which LTE bands and deployment regions are you targeting? That affects antenna selection, certification considerations, and sometimes modem variant choice. 2. Do you want the device to retain unsent measurements locally if the network is unavailable for several cycles, or is dropping missed samples acceptable? 3. Is OTA firmware update capability something you want designed in from the beginning, or should the system remain intentionally minimal? 4. Are you expecting TLS-secured MQTT connections to Supabase directly from the ESP32/SIM7600, or will there be an intermediate broker/server layer? 5. Do you already have a preferred charging IC or battery capacity target, or should I optimize the power stage around your runtime expectations? Deliverables would include clean schematics, production-ready PCB files, documented firmware, and test procedures/results for the power and telemetry validation. I also normally provide bring-up notes and debugging references so future maintenance is easier if the design evolves later. Communication-wise, I prefer short technical update cycles with incremental checkpoints rather than disappearing for a week and delivering everything at once. That tends to surface tradeoffs early, especially around power optimization versus reconnect latency. Happy to discuss architecture options as well particularly whether fully cold-booting the modem every cycle is preferable for your power target, or whether a faster reconnect strategy makes more sense for your deployment scenario.

This is a low-power IoT telemetry device project combining ESP32 + SIM7600G + DHT22 with deep sleep scheduling, LTE MQTT publishing, and battery-optimized PCB design for continuous environmental monitoring. I will design the complete hardware and firmware stack, starting with a power-optimized schematic that integrates ESP32 with SIM7600G using proper level shifting, power rail isolation, and LTE peak current handling. I will also design a Li-Po charging and protection circuit via USB-C with safe charging IC selection, ensuring stable operation during LTE transmission bursts. On the PCB side, I will deliver a production-ready layout with careful RF routing for the SIM7600G antenna, separation of analog/digital domains, and optimized trace design for low power leakage. The design will target ultra-low sleep current (<200 µA) through proper power gating of the modem and sensor subsystem. On firmware, I will implement deep-sleep scheduling with configurable wake intervals, robust LTE reconnection logic, MQTT publishing to your Supabase/PostgreSQL backend, and failure logging for connectivity issues. The system will include battery monitoring, health reporting, and graceful recovery when the cellular link drops. Firmware will be written in clean Arduino/C++ with modular structure for future expansion. Deliverables will include full schematics (PDF + source), Gerber files, BOM, and well-documented firmware ready for deployment and testing. Thanks, Asif

Dear Client, The hard part here is not reading a DHT22 or posting MQTT data. The hard part is making ESP32 + SIM7600G behave like a real low-power field device that survives weak cellular links and still meets the sleep-current target. I can help build this from hardware to firmware with the 24-hour bench test in mind from day one. My approach would be: ✅ design the schematic and PCB around ESP32, SIM7600G, DHT22, Li-Po charging/protection, USB-C, battery sensing, and clean modem power delivery ✅ write Arduino/C++ firmware for deep sleep, adjustable wake interval, MQTT publishing, SIM reconnection, failure logging, and battery health reporting ✅ prepare the Gerbers, source files, and test procedure so the device can be validated against 15-minute posting and low-sleep-current requirements For cellular IoT, the modem power path and reconnection logic matter more than fancy features. I would keep the design lean, testable, and field-oriented. One question: Do you already have the Supabase/MQTT authentication method and SIM APN/carrier details, or should the firmware stay configurable for those? If you message me, I can suggest the cleanest hardware/firmware split for a reliable first build. Best regards, Prat PCB Must Innovations
