LoraWan

---

Hi,

Is there a way to get LoraWan data inside Pimatic?

Thanks in advance

Mqtt is one of the interface options of LoraWan and its available in Pimatic.
Or do you mean something else?

Yes, I am new to Lora but I found out that it must be easy to use MQTT…

Ok, succes with that. And it would be nice to hear your progress on this.

Because the bandwith with LoraWan is so limited, i went away from it.
I´m using Lora(without Wan) with MySensors and a WIFI Gateway wich speaks MQTT. So no problem for Pimatic…
Good for even some km`s with cheap hardware. No expensive Gateway, just an ESP32 with Lora.

I want to use it for a garagebox far away from my home without any powerline. Solar isn’t an option, it attracts the attention to valuable assets.

So I need a device that works a long time on batteries and can make a connection with somthing.
I can’t find any 4G devices that are capable of doing that (2G and 3G aren’t available anymore in a short time).
So therefore I thought of Lorawan that is exactly what I need…

I bought a lsd01 device and now I am trying to get it configured in the KPN Things network.
The network sees the device but I have some issies with it. When that is solved I can publish the data to a MQTT broker… and get the info (garagedoor open/closed) in Pimatic.
