Really? Don't think I've ever seen a LoraWAN product in the wild.
Lots of ZigBee stuff, lots of ESP8266-based WiFi stuff (which generally requires a crummy phone app to perform the initial WiFi setup), and a bit of Insteon stuff hanging on despite whatever the heck is going on with the company.
- gh02t 4y agoI have seen farmers using LoRaWAN, and The Things Network has pretty good availability in Europe. It's not really for smart home uses, more industrial/long range applications.
- lawrenceduk 4y agoWe have 10s of thousands of street lights using LoRaWAN amongst other things. It’s very much being used! Just might not be that obvious.
- ClumsyPilot 4y agoI have a lorawan weather station, it's for outdoor long-range stuff
- gh02t 4y agoI'm curious, what station are you using?
- SEJeff 4y agoLoraWAN sort of dominates agriculture IoT (the S is for Security) market. I guess it depends on your target area, but it is alive and very well. Even if you aren't a blockchain fan, Helium[1] is still alive and well. It is helping spread LoraWAN even further. I live in central KY and have several helium networks near me. Never in a million years did I expect blockchain to end up on farms in Central KY, but here we are. [1] https://www.helium.com https://www.helium.com
