I just got my pair setup properly again this morning. The Heltec Lora v3 is pretty cheap and I've gotten a 4 mile connection between them. I'm looking at more so I can setup one on a sensor for my packages box to alert when something has arrived and one as a base node.

That is cool, let me know how it goes hooking sensors to it.

I previously played with a LoRa co2 sensor from seeedstudio, which afaict required the use of a proprietary base station software called “The Things Network”.

In my limited testing I could go across my hilly neighborhood and it worked and I was impressed, but the software stack felt difficult to do anything with. I hope meshtastic is better.
