EcoHome Lab: A LoraWAN sensor network?

http://photos2.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/a/3/e/9/event_459521961.jpeg

Julian Tait from ThingsManchester (http://thingsmanchester.org.uk/), the crowdsourced IoT network for Manchester, will be talking to us about the potential for LoraWAN (http://www.theverge.com/2016/2/17/11030692/Lorawan-internet-of-things-network-amsterdam) as a backplane for your sensor network. We'll be having a look at what areas of Manchester are covered, having a look at some hardware and seeing how we might interface with it.

We've adopted a new format, so the timetable for the evening is as follows:

5.30-6.30pm - OpenEnergyMonitor (https://openenergymonitor.org/) drop-in with Trystan Lea (https://vimeo.com/user853442) one of the projects core developers. Temperature sensor not reporting, dashboard showing unusual results? Bring it down and we'll see what we can do.

6.30-7pm - Julian from ThingsManchester (http://thingsmanchester.org.uk/) talks us through the potential of LoraWan

7.00-7.30pm - Q&A, discussion and hands-on with some LoraWAN hardware

7.30-8pm - Open session - bring your latest project to show and tell.

8pm - Pub!
