I'm making a thing! OpenEVSE LoRa support

Another factor idea is to have the units “communicate with each other”, an example here is having units coordinate and decide on power delivery to each vehicle. As an example, someone may have a 60A circuit available, the charger units could “split” the 60A evenly between all vehicles.

That sounds like it would need strict orchestration, implying that one might need guarantees of message delivery? If so, then even with confirmed LoRaWAN downlinks, I wonder if LoRa(WAN) should be the technology of choice.

@LoRaTracker

that sort of packet interval could easily exceed the fair access limit for free access to TTN

Indeed. Also, I feel that this limit is quite a sane limit, that should also apply to private installations, unless one is willing to deploy a lot of gateways, each covering a small area.
