Similar projects worth following
This is a Lora/LoraWan device, it carries the power of STM32 inside.
Easily program on Arduino IDE with examples code and detailed instructions.
Optimized design and low current consumption help the device work for many years with only 1 cell 18650mA battery.
Besides, it also supports solar charging.
Supported connection standards include:
-RS485 (Modbus RTU)
-I2C and One-Wire
-Analog input (4-20mA, 0-10V)

📝Note:

(*) Scenarios: Node A read value from sensor (I2C, modbus, 4-20mA, 0-10V, one-wire), and send to node B.
Node B is modbus slave, simulation sensor, update value in register each time recieve signal from node A.
We can use PLC or another device read value modbus RTU from node B. It is same read direct sensor, but there is a small delay.

Regarding One-Wire sensors, we will wait for support from RAK team in Q3-2023.
Currently, because of RUI3 limitations, there is no official library for this communication standard from Rakwireless.

can You create a meshtastic or https://reticulum.network/ node and chceck distance?

What about minus degrees? (In winter)

  Are you sure? yes | no

Mesh network in my plan, but maybe in 2024.

What is problem with minus degrees sir?How many degrees in your side in winter?

  Are you sure? yes | no

powiadam.ci wrote 10/07/2023 at 09:01 point

-30 celsius

  Are you sure? yes | no

namnam wrote 10/07/2023 at 10:08 point

I couldn't test it under those conditions because I'm in the tropics. But the components on the circuit board can operate from -40*C to 125*C.

To be sure, I think you should buy a set at a discounted price from me to test before placing a bulk order sir. We will verify this together.

  Are you sure? yes | no
