Hello Sir I first wanted to say many thanks for the project and all the work you did and sharing you r knowledge and lesson's learned. my question is I have my MQTT broker and Node-Red sitting on Home Assistant. Rather than using a serial connection can we send the data straight from Lora Gateway to my MQTT via wifi ? many thanks again ... and If I opt to use this I will gladly make a donation

Yep, that will work. Or you can literally use a USB cable to power the gateway and plug that straight into your HA instance. Use serial in Node red to consume the data. This is what I do, to cut out that wifi hop.

Hello! Thanks! Yep, you are free to use WiFi and LoRa on the same gateway. The big limitation is that you can't use ESP-NOW and WiFi at the same time,

Many thanks to you both and I look forward to giving this try as this will be my first run with Lora I have a pleanty of use cases for this on my horse farm.

Awesome! Let me know if you have any problems. I have recently upgraded the system's LoRa capabilities and am still working through some bugs.
