## About

Unser Ziel ist es, die Region Bruchsal mit dem _The Things Network_ zu verbinden. Die Erreichbarkeit wollen wir durch Gateways in allen Stadteilen verbessern.

Bei gemeinsamen Treffen tauschen wir uns über alles rund um das Thema _Internet of Things_ aus, basteln und helfen uns gegenseitig bei unseren Projekten.

Und Projekte gibt es viele, wie beispielsweise die Erfassung von Bach- und Flusspegelständen, der Füllstände von
Regenwasserzisternen, der Bodenfeuchte zur Steuerung der Bewässerung, des Gewichts von Bienenstöcken zur Schwarmerkennung und vieles mehr.

Wir freuen uns auf neue Mitglieder und den Austausch untereinander.

Our goal is to connect the City of Bruchsal with the _The Things Network_ by providing gateways in all disticts and boroughs.

In community meetings we discuss everything concerning the _Internet of Things_, build new projects and help each other.

And there are a lot of petential projects to explore, like measuring the water levels of streams, rain water cisterns, the soil humidity to control the irrigation, the weight of a bee hive to detect that a swarm left, and much more.

We look forward to new members and the exchange of ideas.
