Anotācija: Monitoring the curing process of concrete remains a challenging and critical aspect of modern construction, often hindered by labour-intensive, invasive, and inflexible methods. The primary aim of this study is to develop an integrated IoT-enabled platform for automated, real-time monitoring of concrete curing, using a combination of LoRa-based sensor networks and an LTE-M backhaul. The resulting ConMonity system employs embedded multi-sensor nodes—capable of measuring strain, temperature, and humidity‒connected via an energy-efficient, TDMA-based LoRa wireless protocol to an LTE-M gateway with cloud-based management and analytics. By employing a robust architecture with battery-powered embedded nodes and adaptive firmware, ConMonity enables multi-modal, multi-site assessments and demonstrates stable, autonomous operation over multi-modal, multi-site assessment and demonstrates stable, autonomous operation over multi-month field deployments. Measured data are transmitted in a compact binary MQTT format, optimising cellular bandwidth and allowing secure, remote access via a dedicated mobile application. Operation in laboratory construction environments indicates that ConMonity outperforms conventional and earlier wireless monitoring systems in scalability and automation, delivering actionable real-time data and proactive alerts. The platform establishes a foundation for intelligent, scalable, and cost-effective monitoring of concrete curing, with future work focused on extending sensor modalities and enhancing resilience under diverse site conditions.
