Welcome on my WX LoRa station project!

⚠️ This project, even if fully operationnal, is still under development.
This Wiki has started on january 14 2024.

WX station on air

This project started as a test to make a small independent weather reporting station after the cheap commercial station I had flew away during a storm.
Being a radioamateur (aka ham), I thought it would be a good idea to use our radio bands and modes.
As, at the same time, I started to deploy a local APRS network, it was natural to use the APRS protocol to transmit datas over the air.

As the project grew up, I added more and more functions, until I was satisfied (for the moment).

Now this project can :

  • Multiple ESP32 LoRa boards are possible.
  • Measure temperature, humidity, pressure, wind speed and direction, rainfall.
  • Transmit datas via APRS in LoRa and APRS-IS mode.
  • Push the datas to Wunderground.
  • Push to datas to a MQTT broker
  • Display a Web page with all datas.
  • Support OTA updates.
  • Wind sensors are using RS485 ModBus interface.
  • Combined temperature, humidity, pressure sensors possible BME280, BME680, SHT31.
  • Rain sensor is a tipping bucket sensor. (for the moment)
  • Fully configurable through a unique configuration file.

⚠️ For the moment, only the LilyGo T3 v1.6.1 and LilyGo T-beam v1.1 with SX1278 have been tested.
