Do you need LoRa for LONG RANGE Sensor Networks? Locally-Hosted Setup w/ Chirpstack
Do you like sensors and data collection as much as me, but need a solution for longer range than you can get with WiFi, Zigbee, Z-Wave, etc? Maybe you should take a look at LoRa, and the LoRaWAN network topology.
In this video, I walk through what LoRa and LoRaWAN are, how you can setup a LoRaWAN gateway and self-hosted Chirpstack cloud for your own home network, and eventually get sensor data all the way across my LoRaWAN network and into Home Assistant!
LoRaWAN Gateway:
(US 915Mhz):
(EU 868Mhz):
My SW Fork:
Chirpstack LoRaWAN Installation Page:
(They also have a Home Assistant Addon if you are into that)
LoRaWAN Node Board (w/ RP2040):
LoRaWAN Node Board (Node Only, Needs MCU):
My RA-08H Examples:
The Sensor I Bought from Dragino (they have a ton of LoRaWAN sensors):
*Warning* YoLink produces Home Automation products using LoRa, but they do not support standards-compliant LoRaWAN, despite being built on LoRaWAN. So you cannot use them with your own network.
