Transmitting an Alarm Signal with LoRa (600m)! || Improving my Garage Alarm System

Great research as always 👍🏻👍🏻👌🏻

Are the capacitors that you included on the breakout board required? What pins of the rfm96 board are they connected to? I am trying to work with the same modules and am having a tough time so any help is appreciated!

wait Bro's German?

Does lora use encryption?

Hi, does someone know where to get more information about programming with LoRa? thanks

Lora technology ☠️ if you are indian you know

How do you get 600M range with a wire antenna? I'm using a helocoidal antenna and I get 150M on an obstructed environment ( 5 houses on the xmit path)? Is your garage without obstructions? Maybe I should use a more sophisticated antenna with IPX connectors?

Hi Scott, that is a really nice project. Do you think the Seeed will e5 can do the same? It got the LoRa module already on the same chip. Most difficult part is the stm32wle5j setup 😅 I mess this up all the time. Maybe I should try it with the arduino IDE instead of the stm IDE? Regards Dom

next vid: So last weekend I woke up around 2 in the morning with my home invasion allarm and realized we hadn't set up a routine for invasion, so today we are going to build an AK-47 feturing the channel "I Did a Thing", we also called FPSRussia to test it against a store bought glock

How can we encrypt the LoRa packets with public/private keys?

In the beginning of your video you can see that one of the "Hello world" strings arrives corrupted. Did you do anything to correct this?
Otherwise the receiving side might ignore an alarm, because the code did not arrive uncorrupted. And you might miss an alarm.

Sir, i want to ask you one thing...

Is it safe to fill bootloader arduino into stm32 ? I just wondering if it's will affectly something or bad into stm32 board

Pls, i need this answer from you.
Thx

Do you have a guide to build a low cost lora gateway?

You should add more solar power to garage to make sure it doesn't drain or run out of power.

More Lora Content please, your Post are very nice Content

Hello and thank you for this informative video sir. I have a question: why did you choose to work with STM32 Nucleo and not with the arduino uno?knowing that both contain 3.3v power pin

i wish to transmit some microphone recording sound snippets taken every 30 minutes over a lora or the things network...what would i need please?

Great video. Please may you reply if you dont use a gateway as this case, you can connect to the RX lora circuit just 1 “device” or 1 TX circuit? Or can you connect to other TX devices? (This question is because im thinking to make a communitary alarm

So nice, just have one question, how in the world is your apartment and your garage 600 METERS away! wow, but very cool!

Congratulations

Why not use the controllino and a level converter directly instead of adding the garage stm32? Significantly less complexity and things to go wrong I would think.

Hello,
Can the STM32, RFM95 and Draguino band be customized for another frequency range, for instance 920MHz? The 915MHz frequency is reserved thus it isn't available for public usage where I live. Thanks!

Hi, can streaming video be transmitted wirelessly through LoRa or LoRaWAN? If yes, then which protocol - LoRa or LoRaWAN? Thanks

Good day! do you have a code in this project??

Here In My garage .........................................

Were you able to communicate at 600 metre range?

Ich will auch meine Simson S51 in der Garage schützen

Это лучше чип Semiconductor ax8052f143 с архитектурой 8051 .. есть возможность использовать SDK самого чипа Semiconductor ax8052f143 с библиотеками XNB. Это позволяет отказаться от внешнего управляющего микроконтроллера и снизить энергопотребление устройства ...... ..

Used to be an Elektuur member since 1966 but gave it up 15 years ago. I found many of their designs overcomplicated and in fact often not working correctly. Having said that... i admit they were a trailblazer

The patented "After about 2 hours of soldering" :)

lol i was thought this will happen, when made a video on how exactly the alarm of his garage works. not funny tho.. but thanks for the sacrifice done for us ..

Your videos are Perfect. I like your work also yur designsby hand on paper. I also madesame Lora module comunication with arduino Nano. Because of you experience can you describe at new videos more powerfull LORA systems for very long distances ??? Thank you very much.

I really like your thinking

A garage 600m away from your apartment means atleast 2 mins to get there...thieves might be gone in 60 seconds.
Also, why is the garage so far away ? Seems like a pain every time you need to take out your motorcycle ?

Ah you missed some points with the hardware.
If you installed the gateway and a app on your phone, then you could have pushed alarm notification to the phone, from the garage/gateway and appartment.

I think that LoRa is not as widely used as the claims.
Most people use mobile data or WiFi as the data rate and performance is low, but you can connect on a good day with ligh of sight. (Like almost all connections).

It is for tiny data as i /they show a 53bit/s transfer speeds.
And 56k modems are slow lol..

So happy to see that you gave up on the Gateway, i have one and its not easy to make it do what you want ...... I try to use it as LORA to MQTT no success so far.

LeoDJ made a great suggestion about a heartbeat. Having designed a LoRa alarm system myself, I second that and add voltage monitoring into the message so you can detect if the battery is getting low for some reason. Also to avoid the risk of a single transmission failing thus not triggering the alarm, I would like to suggest having the transmitter keep sending the alarm message until the receiver sends a message back that says "Hey I got your alarm message" and the transmitter then stops re-sending the message.

Hi. I have very important question.
Why did you left stm development kit with transievers? Can't it work without it? I think this is a little bit of wasting that development platforms.
Big thanks!

Those coupon codes do not work anymore :(

Becareful with transmitting above 14 dBm, since that's the maximum allowable uplink power in Europe. Everything above is deemed "illegal".

Funfact: LoRa is also being used in the RC Community to control drones (fixed-wing, Quad/hexa, etc) for longrange flights (up to 10km) and also to have a stable RC link while flying behind buildings and trees :D

thank you...

Hey Scott here is a tip for you to make programming easier.
Try using VSCode and the extension Platformio.
You don't need to mess around with the crappy Arduino IDE.
It also supports programming and debugging STM devices, ESPs, Arduinos and many more.

Hey GreatScott! Du weißt, dass es auch Arduino Boards mit 3,3 Volt gibt? Nicht nur NANOs sondern auch UNOs

Great topic, simple build, no misunderstandings. Superb video. And I get your "aversion" towards all the different types of communication interfaces.

Why didn't you use the controllino that you have used in your previous video.
