@cslorabox:
I should have mentioned in the first place that I am not an engineer at all (I am an HR person…).
I am just a tech enthusiast doing a bit of home automation with a Jeedom box.
First the range is short enough that many other radio schemes will probably work - 2.4 GHz FSK for example.
I do not know the 2.4 GHz FSK. I can have a look.
I agree with the fact that Lorawan is certainly overkill for what I need. But the “home” solutions like Zigbee, EnOcean or Zwave did not have the solution to my problem (not that I found though).
And I need a solution that can integrate in the Jeedom world. As I have not the skills to develop a plugin myself, I need to rely on the protocols supported by Jeedom and the existing plugins.
Lorawan & TTN are supported by Jeedom. What I need is to collect the raw data from the node, and then from Jeedom, I can design scenarii with these data (i.e timers, notifications and even some other actions from other devices not Lora specific).
The door sensors have some capabilities on their own, like timer and regular uplink updates on top of sending the status upon action, so I have the possibility to either take the status itself (opened/closed) or to collect the status sent from the timer on the node itself.
I am trying to figure out what is the less airtime consuming.
At this stage, I have already bought the lora gateway which is in operation, and I have a sensor for testing.
If it turns out that the Lorawan solution is really not a good option, I guess I will re-sell the gateway and will try to find another option.
Thks for your comments!
