EASY LORA

Welcome to the Easy Lora Gateway wiki! We are LoRa hobbyists. We hope you and us could learn something from this project.

• Easy LoRa gateway v2.1's wiki: You are HERE!
• Easy Lora Industrial Node WiKi: https://github.com/IoTThinks/EasyLoRaNode_Industrial/wiki

1. Goals

We would like to build a very SIMPLE and EASY LoRa infrastructure for small-scale testing and development. The project comprises of two main components only:

• Easy LoRa Gateway: A simple and single channel LoRa gateway using easy-to-find boards and modules. The gateway should be very easy to use, cheap and for small scale.
• Easy Lora Industrial Node: A simple and single channel LoRa node with easy-to-find boards. The node supports Industrial RS485 sensors, commodity sensors and SSRs.

2. System architecture

We do not try to do something complicated or LoRaWAN. The architecture is bellow:

• The LoRa Node sends messages to LoRa gateway.
• The LoRa Gateway receives LoRa messages from LoRa nodes and forwards them to a public MQTT via TCP/IP.
• MQTT server acts as a centralized message storage for multiple systems to interact with each other.
