Add of LORA technology to OpenMQTTGateway

The V0.9.1 release of OpenMQTTGateway will introduce the compatibility with LORA RF technology based on the work of Sandeep MISTRY.

LORA is a technology used on Low Power Wide Area Network, the 3 first words of this definition are very interesting. Indeed in home automation we are often faced against the challenge of range and working with battery powered device. LORA solves both problems by its low power consumption and its "kms" range.

The first tests on OMG has been done with the TTGO LORA boards based on ESP32.
They are delivered with an antenna and an embedded display. Quite usefull for the first tests.
Note that the modules I bought had already a sender and receiver program flashed!

If you want to reflash these programs you can find them here:
https://github.com/LilyGO/TTGO-LORA32-V2.0

You can use this library for the display:
https://github.com/osresearch/esp32-ttgo/blob/master/libraries/OLED.zip

These modules combined with OpenMQTTGateway enables to send LORA messages coming from MQTT message, 
here is an example:

 
 mosquitto_pub -t home/OpenMQTTGateway/commands/MQTTtoLORA -m '{"message":"OpenMQTTGateway signal received!"}'



or to receive MQTT messages coming from LORA signals.

 So as to play with LORA gateway uncomment into user_config.h
 //#define ZgatewayLORA  "LORA"

You can now use OpenMQTTGateway to communicate with far and low power sensors thanks to LORA technology.

    Hello, great work. I wonder if using available Sonoff RF Bridge UART in combination with UART enabled LoRA modules, such as EByte E32-915T20D has been already
    integrated to allow for long range communication in addition to WiFi. In negative,
    your suggestions on how to proceed and on available code modules are welcome .

      Hello, I don't think it has been done on a sonoff rf bridge. I would better use integrated LORA module like TTGO ESP32 boards :

OpenMQTTGateway now reads Xiaomi Mijia Temperature and Humidity sensor

In the path of integrating BLE devices to OpenMQTTGateway I have found the Xiaomi Mi Jia Humidity and temperature sensor to be a good candidate. This little indoor sensor is able to measure temperature and humidity and to transmit these data by bluetooth low energy to your smartphone. As we already integrated another BLE device ( Mi Flora)  why not extending the integration scope of OpenMQTTGateway to this one. I ordered one to see if I was able to extract data from it. After a few weeks, I received it, a first test with nRF connect application showed me that this device diffuses data in a quite similar way compared to Mi Flora (using BLE service data exposition). From this point I had to determine the differences between the data sent from mi flora and the data sent from mi jia hum & temp sensor. The reverse engineering was similar to the one done with Mi Flora and with some offset implementation in the program I was able to read easily the humidity and temper...

433toMQTTto433 - Bidirectional ESP8266 NodeMCU gateway between RF 433Mhz signal and MQTT

The goal  is to act as a gateway between 433Mhz sensors and a MQTT broker or between the MQTT broker and 433Mhz actuators, It enables to: receive MQTT data from a topic and send RF 433Mhz signal corresponding to the received MQTT data  publish MQTT data to a different topic related to received 433Mhz signal  It can be an interesting part in an home automation system so as to interface sensors and actuators (wall sockets) with software like openhab . List of compatible sensors here The interest of putting this gateway to an ESP8266 and not on a raspberry pi is to be able to manage security actions at gateway level (power on a siren, cut power to certain devices) following RF data received by sensors without being dependent to the PI for security related actions. [EDIT] all infos are now centralized into  the github repository  take a look at it you will find up to date info about OpenMQTTGateway You need: Software: Mosquitto Arduino IDE latest versio...

Infrared IR, 433mhz and MQTT on ESP8266 bidirectional gateway OpenMQTTGateway

Following discussions on the home assistant forum people gave me the idea to add Infrared communication to the 433mhz gateway.  The goal is to act as a gateway between 433Mhz sensors, infrared remote controls and a MQTT broker or between the MQTT broker and 433Mhz actuators, infrared devices, It enables to: receive MQTT data from a topic and send RF 433Mhz signal corresponding to the received MQTT data  publish MQTT data to a different topic related to received 433Mhz signal  receive MQTT data from a topic and send infrared signal corresponding to the received MQTT data  publish MQTT data to a different topic related to received infrared signal  It can be an interesting part in an home automation system so as to interface sensors and actuators (wall sockets), your tv, home cinema, hifi ... with software like  openhab  or home assistant . List of compatible RF sensors here [EDIT] all infos are now centralized into the github repository  ...
