This is a Shannon Town Mens Shed project that is being blogged at:

It also has an environmental sensor
I’m very pleased with how well the battery is lasting on this standalone outside temp/humidity sensor 🙂 (It’s about the size of your thumb https://heltec.org/project/htcc-ac01/ )

The sensor was down for a few weeks. Firstly, because the free cloud database got full and the sensor broke then because the replacement sensor wasn’t configured! Third time’s a charm they say! Enjoy 🙂 (PS. New sensor is based on a BME680 so lots of different data)
I noticed that my LoRaWAN gateway aerial at the gable end of my house had fallen down over a week ago. So no data has been getting through! I aim to fix that tomorrow 🙂
Just lashed antenna back up now so awaiting messages… 🙂
Well I checked on the LoRaWAN sensor yesterday and its battery was dead so I’ve been charging it up overnight at home. That’s why the temperature is at 20 C.
Unfortunately, after restoring the sensor to the bug hotel, the sensor’s transmissions can no longer reach Tola Park (probably due to Summer foliage growth). Things might improve if we get more LoRaWAN gateways installed in Shannon and/or the foliage dies back later in the year,
