LoRa sx1276/sx1278

MySensors if support LoRa sx1276 / sx1278，and how to use that
-
Welcome to the MySensors community @maolintao !
The library has support for RFM95 in LoRa mode,
but there is no support for sx1276/8.
EDIT: Yes there is, see belowLoRa isn't very useful to many home automation use cases, due to the long send times, limited ack support and the 1/10% duty cycle limits though. Could you describe how you want to use it?
-
not rechecked, but if remember well, hoperf is using semtech sx1276 chip for their rfm95..
So if i'm not wrong, you can use it in LORA mode with Mysensors.

@mfalkvidd We are doing a test to achieve the school energy (such as water, electricity) data collection, but each collection point is about 1-2 kilometers away. Do you have any good suggestions? Thank you very much
-
@maolintao for that use case LoRa should work well.
It is more the interactive stuff (turning lights on an off for example) that LoRa isn't very suitable for.
@scalz yes, you are right. The library does have SX127x support.
RH_RF95 Works with Semtech SX1276/77/78/79, Modtronix inAir4 and inAir9, and HopeRF RFM95/96/97/98 and other similar LoRa capable radios
Sorry for the confusion.

@maolintao thethingsnetwork.org may be a good solution for you. Around you, if someone has gateway you can use it.

@maolintao did you have any working code for mysensors that works for the sx1278?
