Hi Peter. I just wanted to say thanks posting the details of your LoRa gateway and nodes. I just ordered a number of Heltec LoRa devices to build a home weather station setup that will be so similar to yours. Your code will be a great starting point.
Here’s what I’m waiting on:
– WiFi LoRa 32 (V2) – will use as a LoRa Receiver/gateway. I think I’ll run a small web server on it as well instead of connecting to MQTT.
– CubeCell Capsule Solar Sensor – for temperature and humidity
– CubeCell Dev-Board Plus – for wind speed. Have ordered a small solar panel and lipo battery, but haven’t decided yet on an anemometer. Did you ever hook one up, and if so, which one did you get?
I want a dedicated wall mounted display. I was originally thinking I would have to use an ESP32 with a TTF display, but I found an old Android 7″ tablet that I will use instead (free is good). My thought is that the Android app would just periodically poll the Lora receiver for it’s current values over HTTP, pulling in a JSON file to parse. The Android app would be responsible for logging data over time.
I have the UI of the Android app already done. I think it will work well.
Anyway, thanks again for your examples. I’m sure I’ll hit you up with questions once I get my devices.
-Gregg
