Project mention: Show HN: Extend Zigbee sensor range with LoRaWAN | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-18

This is a fantastic idea, thanks for sharing. I feel like LoRaWAN and LoRAMESH are the perfect solution for shuffling messaging around for home and property sensors, easily traversing a couple miles in poor conditions.
Prior to seeing this I was thinking about how to use the Meshtastic [0] project to fundamentally provide simple UDP services for message brokering over LoRa. There are so many sensors that could easily hook or connect to devices acting as network routers that could bridge other protocols across long distances very easily.
Have you looked at doing something similar with ZWave at all?

Project mention: I can't get these esp32 lora dev boards to work I tried everything | /r/Lora | 2023-05-07

The v3 board was really painful.. after some discovery and tinkering I found the correct set libraries at here. I am using Clion and my platform IO configuration is based on the s3 devkitc-1 (below)
