The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Hub 2245-222 Online Reverse Engineering Efforts
Hi Insteon friends, I started to work on this in fear that this day might come and actually got decoding of Insteon rf packets working on an ESP32+CC1101. NorthernMan54 has ported rtl_433 to the ESP32 here: https://github.com/NorthernMan54/rtl_433_ESP, however due to limited memory on the ESP32 I had to merge in changes to some of the methods from https://github.com/obones/rtl_433. All of that said, the range of the CC1101 is really short so probably not a viable option (I know very little about RF, so maybe someone can optimize that?). After that I went down the path of using an RFM69HCW which should have better range and using RadioLib https://github.com/jgromes/RadioLib but ran out of time to dedicate to it. Hopefully someone with more RF knowledge can make this a reality. Happy to upload the code that I used for the CC1101.

APRS
I don’t actually think this is true. The flipper uses a CC1101 for sub-ghz and this library looks to have implemented APRS with it. https://github.com/jgromes/RadioLib

You can tell it's real because it looks so fake
I hooked up the radios to some microcontrollers and used this Arduino library along with some other custom code.

I want to build a personal gateway. No LoraWAN or TTL.
Your network, your rules. You can use whatever radio parameters you want, and you can use a frequency not used by popular LoRaWAN networks.TTN does not use great parameters for long range anyway. I use https://github.com/sandeepmistry/arduino-LoRa library its easy enough to use and understand. https://github.com/jgromes/RadioLib is good but a bit more complex to implement.

Lora with Pi Pico
Radiolib seems to used by mature projects I have looked at - Meshtastic for example. The author added tentative support for Pico, although he doesn't have hardware see here: https://github.com/jgromes/RadioLib/issues/361
