Anyone with a Multitech Conduit LoRaWan gateway experience ? I have one, quite old, to put my hands on it, and then made it part of a public network (as #thethingsnetwork)
#multitech #lorawan #gateway
It connected to my router, but I can't join it by HTTP. I have access to the debug port, but not yet to the command line. Available documentation seems far more recent than my version (firmware 3 at least 10 years old?)
T-Display-P4 smartphone-like devkit features ESP32-P4 MCU, ESP32-C6 wireless SoC, and SX1262/LR2021 LoRa transceiver
LILYGO T-Display-P4 is a feature-rich ESP32-P4 + ESP32-C6 devkit, but with a smartphone-like design and support for GPS, Ethernet, and LoRaWAN through SX1262 or LR2021 LoRa transceiver, besides the usual WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.x, and 802.15.4 wireless connectivity. The T-Display-P4 is offered with either a 4.05-inch IPS display and a 2MP front-facing camera or a 4.1-inch AMOLED with a 2MP rear camera. The devkit is equipped with 32MB PSRAM and 16MB NOR flash for the ESP32-P4, a microSD card slot, a built-in microphone and speaker, a 3.5mm audio jack, a few USB ports, and a 9-axis motion sensor, as well as a GPIO port and two Qwiic connectors for expansion. T-Display-P4 specifications: MCU - ESP32-P4 CPU Dual-core RISC-V microcontroller @ 360 MHz with AI instructions extension and single-precision FPU Single-RISC-V LP (Low-power) MCU core @ up to 40 MHz GPU – 2D Pixel Processing Accelerator (PPA) VPU – H.264 and
Wi-Fi HaLow vs. LoRa: A Strategic Guide to Sub-GHz Networking
In the world of Internet of Things (IoT), the sub-GHz spectrum is a frontier of immense promise, offering the holy grail of long-range and low-power communication. Two fundamentally different philosophies are vying to define this frontier. On one side stands Wi-Fi HaLow (IEEE 802.11ah), a direct evolution of the familiar, IP-based Wi-Fi standard, engineered for higher bandwidth and seamless integration. On the other lies the diverse and adaptable LoRa landscape, a collection of distinct networking protocols all built upon the same remarkable long-range radio technology.https://web.brid.gy/r/https://gaggl.com/blogs/2026-03-30-lora-vs-wifi-halow-landscapes/
Der er godt gang i Open Source LoRa-fællesskabet rundt om i verden. Seeedstudio har skrevet en fed artikel om forskellene mellem Meshtastic og Meshcore, der måske kan hjælpe dig med at vælge, hvis du overvejer at købe.

TIL That the nice looking slim #SenseCAP Card Tracker T1000-E has two variants, #MeshTastic and #LoraWan - the only difference is that the LoraWan variant is Open Source. So Bigly Open Source in fact, that it has a locked bootloader preventing it from being used with MeshTastic.
In other news, if anyone needs a non-MeshTastic capable LoraWan T1000-E, feel free to ping me...
15°C and sun last week → snow in the lowlands today. March, everyone.
These transition weeks are when road ice gets most dangerous — right when people stop expecting it.
The DL-CWS2 measures road surface temp, humidity & dew point continuously. Battery-powered, weatherproof, years of maintenance-free operation. 100+ units deployed across Zurich for real-time ice warnings.
Floods, droughts, leaks — are you measuring from the right direction? 💧
From above: radar, ultrasonic, laser sensors mounted over the surface. No contact with the water.
From below: pressure sensors lowered into tanks, groundwater, boreholes.
All battery-powered, all wireless via LoRaWAN. No cabling — even in the most remote locations.
