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): http://shrsl.com/4gs7v (EU 868Mhz): http://shrsl.com/4gs7w My SW Fork: https://github.com/apalrd/LR1302_LoRaWAN Chirpstack LoRaWAN Installation Page: https://www.chirpstack.io/docs/getting-started/debian-ubuntu.html (They also have a Home Assistant Addon if you are into that) LoRaWAN Node Board (w/ RP2040): http://shrsl.com/4gs80 LoRaWAN Node Board (Node Only, Needs MCU): http://shrsl.com/4gs81 My RA-08H Examples: https://github.com/apalrd/LoRa_RA08 All Elecrow LoRa Products: http://shrsl.com/4gs83 The Sensor I Bought from Dragino (they have a ton of LoRaWAN sensors): https://www.dragino.com/products/temperature-humidity-sensor/item/224-lht65n.html 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.
