Summary

kkkkkkkkk

good project indeed

This project was created on 08/16/2023 and last updated 3 years ago.

Description

Hey guys, I've finally wrapped up my NEW LoRa Mailbox/PIR/ReedSwitch project. The project is completely open-source you can find the GitHub link in the video description. I hope someone besides me will find this project interesting 😊 Enjoy! The Mailbox Guard is a device that detects when a new letter or package has been delivered to your mailbox using a PIR sensor and door reed switch. It can send a signal to your LoRa gateway, then the gateway sends a message via WiFi to Home Assistant "MQTT" or to WhatsApp allowing you to receive notifications directly into your phone. Or you can use it offline, the gateway display will show the number of letters received, Battery status, and signal strength.

nice, but why not change it to https://meshtastic.org/ or https://reticulum.network/ mesh lora.

This will work outside as node.

  Are you sure? yes | no

Yes, it can be done but, I'm a home assistant user, and never worked on LoRaWAN.
