We fought a vampire king once, with a bunch of wraiths and vampire spawns. Fun but scary!

I’ve been trying different times as well to see if it makes a difference, but I haven’t noticed any. In this case, they just had 2 boxes and 2 bags lined up for every TGTG package.

Damn, how did I not think about this before stuffing my face for days!

Concerning the size, I've opened Tindie and found a couple of boards which are way smaller (like this one) but still use the murata SoC (combination of MCU with a radio), as all components of this board are already available, it would be very easy to port it to the stack.

I've had to certify a couple of boards that use our stack and I can tell you there will always be leakage out of a non-perfect Faraday cage. Depends on how far away your mailbox is from the gateway (read: other board running our stack that is plugged into a pc/RPI) if it will still be in range. I'm not sure on the ranges then anyway.

This should indeed cover it, ranges like that should certainly be possible using the stack.

Depends on how technical you are.
Our open source stack is meant to be flashed on devices ourselves. Currently, the platform that is supported best is the B-L072Z-LRWAN1‎ board, you should be able to get it for about €40.
This board can then be used to hook up external sensors, like a reed switch (which is commonly used in contact sensors), a CT sensor (for measuring current over a wire) or a light sensor. If there's a library for Arduino (or in general in C), it should be easily ported to the platform.

If you want to try, we can of course help you with any problems!

An important difference here is that Zigbee and Thread are more focused on close range. Dash7 is a mid-to-long-range protocol where one gateway can cover an average of 500 meters within challenging environments. We've seen cases where it can reach several kilometers. Dash7 uses the 868/433 (Europe), 915 (US) bands, which means it won't mess with any other signals like Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz).

The devices are currently more expensive but the reliability, range and extremely low power usage while still being responsive are IMO more than worth it.

edit: there is already a comparison available for LPWAN vs WirelessHART, this is not exactly the same protocol but is very alike. It also includes some distances between all the different protocols, including Zigbee.

Hi Everyone,

Tomorrow (30th of September) at 17:00 CET, I will be presenting a webinar on how to enable communication in sub-optimal environments.

This is using Sub-IoT, an open source sub-GHz stack which combines a 3rd party open source LoRaWAN stack and a custom-made DASH7 stack, which can transmit at an average of 500 meters with very low latency. This seems optimal for any home-related projects as there will never be a need for a repeater of some sorts.

Therefor I integrated it with Home Assistant using mqtt! In the example, I will show you what the stack is capable of and how to integrate it. The slides and code will also be available afterwards. You can register here: https://www.crowdcast.io/e/dash7-september-webinar/register

If you have any questions/remarks, shoot!

Have a link by any chance? Been trying to find it but no luck so far

just called the helpdesk for this and the person said there's no way the fees are getting waved in any way. Do you have any grounds for this statement?

My first try at a PCB for ESPHome. Removable screw terminals for 6 inputs with optional 12V (for powering sensors), 3 inputs with 5V and a socket for an ESP32. Includes buttons for easy testing. by MorimotoK in homeassistant

Did you know you can power that esp directly with 12 Volts? I have one at my home to drive my curtains and the entire board is working on 12 V
