Now lets add LoRa Wan RF radio for Long range Transmission of the data.

Most of the time during my bike rides I do not have any wifi network availible. That#s why I decided to add a LoRa Communication radio to my Bike light.

To enable it we need to add the sensor to TheThingsNetwork

This Network is free of charge and you may check your coverage in your area.

You need coverage of that Network otherwise your data will not be transmitted

First of all you nee to register to the network. You may finde a Step by step tutorial here: Youtube Video:

Once this is done you may find the whole sketch here for scan of WIFI MACs and transmit it over LORA here:

Once this is running you need to setup the backend on Google API.

This is a different chapter...
