Any plan for a Lora version ? #1

Hi

Thanks for sharing that fantastic project :) Do you plan to develop a LORA version ? It would make it even cheaper and lasts longer on a battery charge.

Thanks

Vincèn

@vincegre Thank you for reaching out, I am glad you like it!

In terms of LORA version, it is a possibility. I have been thinking about a fusion of LORA and LTE. I think for me constant connectivity with an infinite range was non-negotiable, so LORA is a possibility along with LTE and fallback to LTE when out of LORA coverage or something.

PS. we have a slack community to discuss all hardware improvements, if you'd be interested :)

Well Lora is quite infinite range as a single gateway can cover as much as 20/30km around quite easily ;) and also if only Lora it allows it to last very long time on battery ;)

Thanks but not using Slack, too much waste of time :-1:
