Come to think of it, as the data rate is relatively low, it would have to be something like measurement data, also something that benefits from being small and ideally cheap. So in comparison to a smartphone, for example.
First ideas:
- You can put your own Air quality sensor anywhere in your area
- Measure how many cars/bicycles/pedestrians pass a certain point with a light barrier.
What else ? 🤔

I find LoRa fascinating as a technique and thought about it recently, but what would you actually use it for ? I can think of many professional use cases but am not so sure about hobby uses. Do you have a plan or are you more interested to explore the new tech ?
