Working on a distributed alarm system, where an alarm (burglar, panic, fall, etc) is propagated to the rest of the street, using ESP-NOW between the ESP32C3 and the Seeed SenseCAP Indicator, and LoRa between the Indicator and other Indicators running at our neighbours’ houses.
The ESP32C3 is going to be hooked up to a cheap alarm system (hooked up to the siren output, probably); when the alarm sounds, it will send a message to the Indicator it's paired with, which in turn will broadcast the message across the rest of the street.
Initial tests show that the Indicator should have a range of at least 500m, which is more than enough. If not, I can always look into rebroadcasting.
