Wat kind of node options are out there?
Arduino shields
Stuff you can put right onto your Arduino and make it talk LoRaWAN
- Dragino LoRa shield
- Based on HopeRF RFM95W
- Severin has one
- Dragino LoRa BEE
- based on SX1276/SX1278
- Heiko ordered some
Complete boards
A complete combination of LoRaWAN radio and microcontroller, straight from the shelf.

Our Nodes
Some of the nodes we build at the lab
Test Unit One
Built by Severin
- Arduino Uno
- Dragino LoRa shield
- GPS module
Ideas for Sensors & Nodes
Traffic counter
Count cars on a road. (Maybe also bikes on bike lanes?)
- Slidedeck with different measurement types [2]
- Guide for building one using air pressure tube
- Sensor using ultrasound, SR04 sensor
- More information on ultrasound sensors
- Description of Oxford Floud Network Sensor (also uses ultrasound sensors, by Maxbotix)
Others, no futher details yet
- Weather station (Temperature, Humidity, Air Pressure)
- Water temperature (lake, garden pond)
- Water level (cistern, garden pond, river)
- PIR sensor for movement (garage, selfstorage, ...)
- Also Door openings
- Offgrid solar monitoring
- Postbox status -> "You got mail!"
- Garden/Plant monitoring
- NOx
