Yes, in fact we actually re-transmit the absolute minimum information (device join/sensor values) to ensure that the LoRaWAN link does not saturate. Data compression helps too and a user can also disable re-transmission of some meta-da

Thanks! We haven't looked at Zwave yet, but meshtastic and some other lora based mesh network stacks are familiar. One more interesting project is Recticulum with its RNodes: https://unsigned.io/rnode/

Your points are valid. Especially the ones on educating an interested user about what the project is good for and how to get started. Thank you for the feedback!

Thanks! Your question is an interesting one: Forwarding TCP over LoRaWAN seems at first impossible due to large packet sizes (from LoRa perspective!). It turns out there have been some efforts to apply dictionary based compression methods

We actually thought about a pure microcontroller solution, but stuffing a zigbee coordinator, a mqtt parser and a lorawan stack into an uC seemed a bit overwhelming. It is technically possible with beefier SoCs, but as most ingredients we n

Hi! This project (LoRaBridge) was born few years ago as I was trying to figure out how to get data from the cheap Zigbee sensors in my cellar. In my case, the cellar is not immediately below the main living space, so the Zigbee range even w
