Hi, thanks for the kudos ;-)



At the moment I do not have fixed plans for updates or new features.

I am playing with the idea to use LORA (RFM95) for extended range (km range) sensor nodes. Up to now no practical steps taken yet...



Are there any ideas or requests for new features ?


Dear Computourist,

Please share your progress on using LoRa (RFM95) module for OpenHAB.

I request you to give us a start with your experience and expertise.

It will be very helpful to take our openHAB projects to the next level.

Hi ragoth ,

my progress with LORA is minimal. I have a live link between two nodes, and did some coverage testing. Results are OK (several 100 meters with simple coil antennae in a built-up area).

I'm using the Radiohead library. In contrast to the RFM69 library it has no functions for network selection, message acknowledge, retransmission, encryption and so on.
Still a fair bit of coding to do....

When and if I have some progress I will let you know..
