## About

Hello out there,
we just get started with our LoRa TTN project in Lünen - NRW - Germany. We are very ambitious to provide Internet of Things data connectivity to the entire city of Lünen. Crowdsourcing the network by its citizens and local companies is one of our goals.

We have planned to measure the water level of the river Lippe, built a LoRa driven weather station, measure fine dust in different areas of Lünen and last but not least to measure the temperature , humidity and weight of bee-hives.

We would be very pleased, if you join our community. Feel free to contact our core team and help us to unleash the full potential of the Internet of Things in Lünen.
As we are a FabLab community your are also welcome to visit us in our lab.
